Signs your child may be ready for potty learning
Notice readiness and support the process without rushing or comparing.
Toileting brings together physical maturity, communication, and the ability to follow a routine. Age alone does not decide when a child is ready.
You can try
- Look for longer dry periods, awareness before or after going, and interest in the toilet.
- Choose easy clothing and predictable chances to try, without making them stay seated.
- Treat accidents neutrally and notice participation, not only success.
