There are signs for potty readiness
Toilet learning is a complex skill which requires awareness, concentration, coordination, muscle control, and split-second timing. Your toddler, sooner or later, will learn to use the toilet. Starting when they are ready will make it much easier for you and your toddler.
The signs are universal – if you can answer yes to them you`re ready for the next step. if not, Be patient and give it a little more time.
• Able to stay dry for an hour or two
• Awareness of bodily functions – they look, grunt, comment when they go
• Interest in being clean and dry
• Able to understand and follow simple instructions
• Interest in wearing training pants instead of diapers
• Simple self-dressing
• Interest or curiosity about bathroom habits (it often becomes a preoccupation)
• Make sure you are ready
You will need endless patience, a sense of humor, and plenty of time to spend in the bathroom
