Kids are generally not ready to toilet train before the age of 2, and some children may wait until 3 1/2. It’s important to remember not to push your child before he’s ready and to be patient. And remember that all kids are different. Your child is not developmentally lagging if he’s far into his 3ish before he gets the hang of potty training.⁣⁣

It’s always good to start talking about it to your child before you actually start practising ⁣⁣

Start teaching your child some words for going to the toilet – for example, ‘pee’, ‘washroom’ ‘potty’ and ‘I need to go’.⁣⁣

Talk to him how everyone uses the toilet & let him understand that we all need to use it.⁣⁣

Once or twice a day, start putting training pants on your child this helps your child understand the feeling of wetness.⁣⁣
