Toilet training is a significant milestone in your child’s development and knowing when they are ready, can make the process smoother and more successful. While every child is unique, there are common signs that indicate your little one might be ready to make the transition from diapers to the potty.

These signs include –

• Sensory integration – they can feel when they need to go
• They have a bowel movement around the same time each day
• No bowel movements at night
• A dry diaper after a nap indicating their bladder can store urinate for multiple hours
• They have adequate hip movement and core stability to be able to sit on the toilet and relax pelvic muscles simultaneously
• They can climb and squat to get on and off the toilet
• They can get dressed/undressed on their own
• Emotional readiness – they need to want it or it won’t last

Children can be potty trained anywhere between 18 and 36 months. Recognizing when your child is ready for toilet training is the first step towards a successful transition. By watching for signs of physical, cognitive and emotional readiness, you can help your child achieve this important milestone with confidence. Remember, every child is different and it is important to celebrate their progress at their own pace! Happy potty training
