When your child is ready to begin to learn how to potty train there are usually some signs that he or she is ready such as your child understanding simples commands such as, “Please put your laundry in the hamper” and they can dress themselves.

You can begin to potty train at any age as long as they are old enough to realize what they are doing! Some other signs that you are ready to begin potty training are that your toddler takes an interest by trying to flush the commode while he or she is using it. Another sign may be that your daughter recognizes that her diaper is soiled or wet. She may begin to start trying to take her diaper off. Some children are afraid of the commode. If your child isn’t then he or she may be ready to begin potty training.

Some other signs include your child wanting to wear big kid underwear instead of diapers. Remember that forcing your child to sit on the commode when he or she isn’t ready will only make the potty training experience more difficult and challenging. Remember to have patience and only begin to introduce your child to potty training when he or she is ready.
