Toilet training is a major milestone in a child’s development, but it requires patience, consistency, and understanding. While the average age for toilet training is between 2 and 3 years old, every child develops at their own pace.
Tips for successful toilet training:
- Look for readiness signs: If your child shows interest in using the toilet, stays dry for longer periods, or expresses discomfort with diapers, it may be time to start.
- Create a routine: Take your child to the bathroom at regular intervals, especially after meals or before naps.
- Positive reinforcement: Celebrate successes with praise or small rewards, but avoid punishment for accidents.
With time and encouragement, most children master toilet training, leading to increased independence and confidence.
