I believe toilet training is mostly a decision parents need to make as soon as they as parents are ready.
A
child will learn to do just about anything if the parent is wiling to
teach. Think of the first time your child latched on to your breast or a
bottle to eat. Think of the first time your child started walking.
A Toddler
Potty Training
There
are developmental stages in life however just like the need to eat and
digest the food a child eats, the need to eliminate is there from the
day a child is born. The saying "your child must be both physically and
emotionally ready for toilet training" I believe is not true.
Toilet training
my youngest daughter as an infant proved to me over and over the choice
I have every day to either put her in diapers and allow her to soil her
self while desensitizing or I could hold her and teach her that's ok to
feel and eliminate.
Of
course I chose to let her feel and teach her to eliminate. I am a proud
mom and would like to share that my little Abbie was fully potty
trained by four months old and once she learned to sit and crawl she
would use the potty on her own.
With
the use of diapers I need to agree with most experts who say most
children are ready when they are between 22 and 30 months of age,
although every child is different.
Potty
training can becomes a long and frustrating process if you try to start
it before your child is ready emotionally and physically once you have
used diapers, however with the right amount of time and tools it can be
done at any stage in your child's development.

Before a child can use the toilet, he/she must be able to control their bowel and bladder muscles.
Some
signs of this control are having a dry diaper after a nap or for at
least 2 hours at a time, having bowel movements around the same time
each day and not having bowel movements at night.
For
total independence a child should also be able to climb, talk, remove
clothing, and have mastered other basic motor skills before they can use
the toilet by themselves, and until then a parent should be willing to
offer support.
I believe most children are physically ready to toilet train before they are emotionally ready.
Your
child must want to use the toilet and be willing to cooperate with you.
He or she may even talk about being a "big boy" or "big girl" and
wearing underpants rather than diapers.
Training
generally does not go well if your child is in the stage where "no" is
his or her automatic response to every request, however giving it enough
time will create not only a bond it will also create trust and follow
the leader game will have a brand new meaning.
