Toilet Training Tips

Parenting is one task that takes a lot of effort, and it calls for patience on the part of the parents. Among the things that call for a lot of patience on the part of parents with their children is toilet training. This is the process of teaching your toddler how to use the toilet, both for urination and defecation. The process begins by showing the toddler how to use a bowl-shaped dish known as potty, and as time progresses, you show them how to move from using the potty to using the real toilet.  There is no clear-cut age at which the training is supposed to start, but in the western countries, this may begin when the child is as young as 12 months. By the age of three years, most children will have acquired the skills of using the toilet and controlling the bowel movement.

There is no reason for a parent to panic in case his child has not shown signs of being able to control the bowel by the age of 30 months. It is normal and what the parent should do is to keep encouraging the child with a lot of love and kindness.  However, it is important to note that, while at a certain age a baby will be able to control his bowel movements during the day, he may not be able to do the same at night.

If, as a parent, you are wondering when to start toilet training your child, there are signs that you can look out for and you will be able to establish whether it is time you taught your child a few lessons on using the toilet. The one big sign is when your child stays dry for at least 2 hours during the day, or is dry after taking a nap. If this is a constant habit, then you can know that the bowel movements are becoming regular and predictable, which is another sign in itself.

If your child makes some facial expressions when they are about to relieve themselves, you can be sure that it is time to toilet-train them. As a simple starting guide, once you have made this observation, you can walk with your child to the bathroom and help them undress and relieve themselves. With time, they will get used and will be pointing out to you when they want to relieve themselves.
