Toilet Training :What works

mummycristlyn by mummycristlyn Talking(October 2007) (rank 126th)

To make toilet training as smooth process as possible for you and your toddler  there's no magic age for being ready to start learning to use the potty most toddlers develop the necessary physical and mental skills between 18 and 24 mths  keep an eye out for physical ,cognitive

and behavioral signs  that your toddler might be ready to give it a try

Here are some  physical signs to look for

*Has regular bowel movements

* Has dry periods of at least three to four hours which shows that he/she bladder muscles are developed enough to hold urine

Behavioral sings

* Can sit down quietly in one position for two to five minutes

* Dislikes the feeling of wearing a wet nappies

* Shows interest in others bathroom habbits

cognitive signs

* Can follow simple instructions such  as go get the toy

* Understands the word wee and poo

* Has  a word for urine and stool

* Understands the physical signal that means he/she has to go and tell you before it happens

Thanks for the list.  Now I know what to be looking for instead of just going by my child's age.
