When should I start potty training my child?
There are a number of cues and clues that indicate that your child is ready to start potty training. Your child may start showing an interest in other family members potty time. Or they show physical signs that they themselves are “going potty.” Other physical indicators of readiness might be that your child’s bowel movements become more predictable in timing or they are showing more coordination in undressing or are exerting more independence. Using positive reinforcements and practicing a calm state of mind about accidents will help maintain a safe, positive attitude about mastering this skill. n
