Family Concerns

Potty training a toddler requires the parent to determine when the child is ready. Parents will need to look for toilet training readiness signs such as the child expressing the desire to use the bathroom, holding their urine for periods of time, and having an interest in wearing underpants instead of diapers. Summer is a good time to train because the child is wearing less clothing. Parents can refer to learning techniques such as books and videos to help the process along. Choosing a fun potty and praising the child will go a long way. Seek the help of a pediatrician if you suspect health problems.
