Psychology Quick Tips

Potty training is easy but only if your child is ready. Although there are things you can do as a parent to help your child get potty trained, many things are outside your control. Some children are ready to potty train earlier than others; some can be potty trained before 2 years of age some after 4. Children differ in how fast they walk and talk and same goes for potty training. A child might not be  physiologically, physically,  emotionally or cognitively ready to potty train. Forcing a child to potty train too early and it may result in increased meltdowns and trantrums, loss of self-esteem and confidence, and fears which can all in themselves delay readiness. When children are ready and parents are consistent, most children daytime potty train within a week. If your child does not react favorably within a week, stop and try again in 2-3 months
