Potty Training Facts




By David Chandler

Potty training, toilet training, toilet teaching or toilet learning are
names frequently used to describe how kids learn to use the
bathroom independently.

Children who are potty training or ready to potty train will:

, Walk to the potty and undress
, Consistently keep underwear clean and dry during the day
and/or night
, Recognise the need to go to the potty and let you know or
goes by self
, Use the potty-chair or toilet by himself or herself.

Children will potty train at different rates and stages:

, Detours in potty training come with the territory and should
not be taken as a sign of failure.
, Physical and mental developments play a large role in potty
training success.
, By using training pants in your training approach will help
to make it a positive and rewarding experience.

Facts to keep in mind:

Girls usually complete training at a younger age than boys and
generally start earlier than boys. The time-spent training does not
change in most cases. 80 percent of boys and girls are completely
trained by age 3-1/2. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Potty training takes an average of eight months but will vary from
child to child. One child can take one month; another might take
up to a year or more. There are kid trackers online that you can
use to determine if you child is where they should be in their
progress.

Potty chairs are best for most kids, but a potty seat for the big
toilet can work with a little assistance and a step stool.

Before your child has started potty training, start thinking about a
reward system that will work for both you and your child. Keep it
simple and easy to stick with such as a sticker on the chart for
sitting on the potty!
