How to tell if you child is ready to start training.
There's no magic age at which toddlers are ready to start learning how to use the potty, but most develop the necessary physical and cognitive skills between 18 and 24 months of age (although some 
won't be interested in the process until they're closer to 3).

The main signs a child is ready for toilet training are:
•~She can wait several hours before urinating, and, when she wees, she empties her bladder instead of urinating only a small amount at a time, which is typical of younger children.
~ She knows the words that your family uses in connection with toileting, such as "wee" and "poo."
~She can get on and off of the toilet or potty by herself and can raise and lower her pants unassisted.
~She generally understands and goes along with your verbal instructions. If your child typically won't follow most of your instructions, you should work on that for now and wait to start toilet training.
~She can tell you when she is wet or dirty (my daughter actually bring me the nappy and wipes when she realises that she dirty.
~She is dry after a nap.
