Experts Tell You Common Indications of When It Is Time to Potty Train

Potty training your toddler is perhaps one of a parent's most essential and time-consuming tasks. The best way to go about this is never to rush your child and to be as patient as you can be. You have to understand that they have to change a core habit and learn a new one. This will surely take time and need proper help.

It can be commonly seen that most parents focus more on how to teach their toddlers to use the toilet instead of understanding when it is the right time. Knowing and understanding when your toddler is ready to get trained to use the bathroom is very important.

Even with the best tricks and tips, you will never be successful if they are not ready. The good thing is that it is not very hard to understand when they are prepared for the transition. These are some signs you should keep an eye out for before you start explaining to your toddler how to use the toilet.

•        They Use Lesser Diapers

This is the first instance where you should understand that your child has grown up a bit. Till about 20 months, all toddlers pee pretty often. However, once they have started staying dry for about an hour or so, it indicates that they now have better bladder control. This also means that they are physically prepared for potty training.

• Bowel Movements Follow A Schedule: 

One of the biggest problems parents face with toddlers understands when they have to use the washroom. This will and should eventually change; the baby will only start feeling the pressure when the body knows its time. This further makes the whole thing much more predictable, and you can pull out the potty easily.

• They Understand When To Use The Washroom:

A big part of knowing when you can start potty training your toddler is when they can understand their body better. With better bladder control, they will know when they have to poop or pee. While not all kids verbally indicate this, they will often show you through their temperaments or facial expressions. This is quite a clear sign that you should start potty training them.

• Your Toddler Knows The Difference Between A Dirty And Clean Diaper:

Infants do not always understand how diapers work. This is because their brains have not registered the stink of poop yet. However, it is a great sign when they start noticing dirty diapers or do not want to be around them. This means they can now know why diapers get used and are ready to use the potty instead.

These are a few signs you might find your infant throwing at you. Each child is different, and their developments are too. This is why you should always try to understand your toddler and how they might indicate this to you. Potty training is an important aspect of growing up, so making them feel comfortable about it is best.
