Quick Facts About Potty Training

Potty training can be natural, easy, and peaceful. The first step is to know the facts.

♦   The perfect age to begin potty training is different for every child. Your child's best starting age could be anywhere from eighteen to thirty-two months. Pre-potty training preparation can begin when a child is as young as ten months.

♦   You can begin training at any age, but your child's biology, skills, and readiness will determine when he can take over his own toileting.

♦   Teaching your child how to use the toilet can, and should, be as natural as teaching him to build a block tower or use a spoon.

♦   No matter the age that toilet training begins, most children become physically capable of independent toileting between ages two and a half and four.

♦    It takes three to twelve months from the start of training to daytime toilet independence. The more readiness skills that a child possesses, the quicker the process will be.

♦   The age that a child masters toileting has absolutely no correlation to future abilities or intelligence.

♦   There isn’t only one right way to potty train – any approach you use can work - if you are pleasant, positive and patient.

♦   Nighttime dryness is achieved only when a child's physiology supports this--you can't rush it.

♦   A parent's readiness to train is just as important as a child's readiness to learn.

♦   Potty training need not be expensive. A potty chair, a dozen pairs of training pants and a relaxed and pleasant attitude are all that you really need. Anything else is truly optional.

♦   Most toddlers urinate four to eight times each day, usually about every two hours or so.

♦    Most toddlers have one or two bowel movements each day, some have three, and others skip a day or two in between movements. In general, each child has a regular pattern.

♦    More than 80 percent of children experience setbacks in toilet training. This means that what we call “setbacks” are really just the usual path to mastery of toileting.

♦    Ninety-eight percent of children are completely daytime independent by age four.
