All parents need that satisfaction and convenience of having their babies potty trained from as early an age as feasible. There is nothing better than noticing for the first time that you actually don't must pack a "baby bag" filled with diapers, nappies, wipes, mats, creams, powders and everything else associated with child changing! Some parents however put way much pressure on themselves and their kid to try and get this happening.
So when is the right time to start? The answer is heavily debated and the answers mixed however it seems the general consensus for successful toilet training of your kid is between the ages of around 16 months to two years. Bear in mind that this is the general "starting point" and not the actual timeframe your kid ought to be fully toilet trained.
Some people have reported full toilet training by the age of 14 to 18 months but this is very rare. Other parents know the struggle of toilet training and have experienced this developmental stage not being successfully done til the age of 6, 7 and even older. This is in no way the fault of the child or even the parent but another example of how different all of us are.
First, this is a communication stage. In the event you and your child can not communicate what is necessary, then you have absolutely zero chance of success. Your child needs to be able to understand simple, and word combinations so they will at least understand what it is you need them to do.
I guess that the key points in deciding to start toilet training are not a lot age related but actually action related. For example there is some key behaviour displayed by your child that will show you the time is right to start.
Thirdly, your child has began to show interest in why all of us go to that small room and may also start to imitate other relatives members and need to be "grown up" and use the toilet.
Secondly, their realisation must have changed. They must know that either a) they are to go or b) they come up and tell you they have gone. This stage is also very much highlighted by the "hiding" stage where your child will go and hide under a table, in another room or even behind the couch to do their business. Your child will also need to have shown that they can "hold it" for a much longer time than before.
And fourthly, they have mastered the art of removing their pants (very frustrating - kids love to be bare!) and they feel discomfort or they show an express hate to be wearing a dirty nappy.
One time your child is showing these signs regularly, you are over prepared and will have a lovely chance of toilet training your child. Bear in mind that it is far simpler to potty train girls than it is to toilet train boys in most cases. Also keep in mind that the decision of when to toilet train is very often made up by the child themselves despite the best intentions of the parent!
One time your kid is prepared for toilet or potty training, in most cases, it is not that difficult to get the job completed in a comparatively short timeframe. Positive encouragement, gentle teaching and love combined with proven methods and techniques will be definite you successfully navigate this stage in your toddler's life quickly and without fuss.
