Toilet Training should be a fun and exciting experience for both you and your child. Remember, your child should feel in control of the process, not you. Take a slow, casual, matter-of-fact approach, and make it fun!
Always encourage and praise your child.
Do not begin training until your child shows signs that he/she is ready.
Every child is different. Most are ready for potty training between two and two and a half years old (some as young as 18 months or as old as 3 years).
Start at a time when you can spend a lot of time together- when your child is eager to please you and there are no major distractions or traumatic events in his/her life (new sibling, divorce, moving, new caretaker, etc.).
Never pressure or punish your child for unsuccessful attempts at using the potty.
Most of all, be patient! Your child will learn to use the potty when he or she is ready (and not before!).
