Potty Training: How to Know Your Child Is Ready

There's no magic age for potty training, readiness is about signs, not the calendar. Following your child's cues makes the whole process smoother.

Look for readiness signs

Staying dry for longer stretches, showing interest in the bathroom, telling you when they're wet, and being able to follow simple directions are all green lights.

Set up for success

A child-sized potty, easy-to-pull down clothes, and a relaxed routine of regular sits remove friction.

Celebrate effort

Praise the attempt, not just the result. Accidents are part of learning and never call for shame.
