Get a copy of "Toddler Taming" by Dr Christopher Green. He says around the two to three mark they can tell you they have wet themselves then you take it from there. He suggests wearing the terry towelling training pants as they hold more and when they are wet and the wind comes from the hills it chills their little netherlands and they understand wet. Next step is they are on the way but they dont make it, to making it and wizzing in the potty/toilet but poo is harder to control and you need time and patience for that.

My daughter was two when I started her and when we went anywhere I took her potty. If I was at my SILs I asked my nephew 18 months her senior to bring her in when he went or after a drink. He praised all her efforts and she got a big hug if she did something.  When she was at preschool I often picked her up to find her in their clothes because she had gone through all hers. I asked the staff and they said she was too interested in what she was doing until she was busting and just didnt make it. There will be many accidents and wet clothes but as long as he knows he isnt in any trouble for doing it he will get better. Night time is the worst anyway. 

There are heaps of articles on the site that are really helpful in regard to potty training.  This link was created using the 'find stuff' search bar at the top right corner of the page.  Happy reading.

hi

my suggestion to your question is that will do it when they are ready. Both my sons where toilet trainer by the age of two as we allowed them to follow us to the toilet when we went from the time they could crawl. I also recommend that you buy a toilet ladder to encourage them to go. With our daughter we did a reward chart as she was a bit harder to train and everytime she did something in the toilet she got a sticker then at the end of the week she would get a small reward if she got all of her stamps.

Good luck on toilet training you little one.

tbh there is no set age.

I let my kids decide and they were 3. I have heard of ppl training at 1.

personally i think it is a personal thing.

if you are going for the waiting till they are ready, i waited for the recognision of just going to the toilet. and knowing wee's and poo's.

good luck.
