When and How to Start Potty Training

At some point every parent will go through potty training with their child. If you are wondering if your child is old enough to start training, you should go more by their behavior and development and less by the suggested guidelines. These guidelines are 18 to 36 months of age. Some toddlers might be up for early potty training while others may exceed 36 months. It all depends on your child's current attitude towards the issue. When to train is a decision that you should make with your child. If you are worried about them never getting trained, very few (if any) average kindergärtners head to school in diapers.

There are certain signs to look for to determine if your child is ready for potty training. They may be interested in watching mom or dad potty (depending on if they are a boy or a girl) because children learn well by example. They may even express interest in using the potty. If your child is receptive to the idea and can keep their training pants dry for a minimum of two hours, it may be time to try potty training. If you need help, a potty training DVD for kids and parents may be of assistance.

One way to get the ball rolling is to take your child shopping for necessary supplies – namely a potty chair and underwear. Even if your child is still in diapers or training pants, new underwear that they choose themselves can really motivate them to potty train. Also, let your child choose their own potty chair. This means they are more likely to use it because they chose it. Kids of all ages want Independence so allowing them to choose these items can be a real boost to their confidence.

It may help when you start potty training to make a schedule. Estimate when your child usually wets or soils his or her diaper or training pants, and at those times lead them gently and sit them down on their potty. Kids who enjoy books can relax with a favorite title. Or, you can read to them. Keeping a potty chart, with stickers and rewards for periods of success, can also help spur your child along. If you have any problems with potty training, your child's pediatrician is only a call away.
