To begin with, let’s come to the most basic misconception about potty training toddlers. Contrary to popular belief, there is no fixed age for the child to be prepared for potty training, since it’s more a matter of physical preparedness. Some children take as long as 30 months to learn, while others get acquainted within just 18 months, the reason being that every child has separate physical and psychological development. Talking in detail, physical development refers to a point in time when the child can stay in the right posture on the toilet. A parent can also instantly identify a child’s readiness towards the potty training toddlers procedures by observing the expressions he gives.


Coming to emotional preparedness, this is a stage when the child does not think of the potty chair as being something that will harm him, i.e., he accepts it, instead of crying every time he is asked to sit on it. However, if anything like this is happening, it’s best to stop the efforts or training right then and there, since continuing would only have a negative impact. Having a potty chair that is comforting to the child, like something of his favourite colour, or having his favourite cartoon character on the seat, is going to be a big boost for the child. However, the parents need to be careful of the fact that once the child shows the willingness to go to the toilet, there must be no delay on the part of the former, since this is a sign of progress, and one that must be capitalised at all costs.
