Successful Toilet Training

• Most children have the muscle control to regulate themselves between 18 months and 3 years of age.
• Children with disabilities or certain medical
problems may not have this ability until later.
• On average children are fully day trained between ages 2 ½ and 4.
• Night training for wetting is much more variable, between the ages of 3 and 8.

• Pre-toilet training prepares your child for toilet training and will make the process easier for you. 

• You can begin this process when your child is around 15 months or older.
• You should continue until your child demonstrates some of the readiness signals that will be talked about in the next section.
• If your child is ready to begin toilet training now, spend at least a week practicing pre-toilet training skills so that your child becomes familiar with the process
