What is the right age for my child to start
using the toilet?
There is no specific age to start toilet training with your child, but
if you feel that your child has developed the necessary physical
skills and mental and sensory capacity for toilet training, then you
can start teaching him how to use the toilet. That is usually
between the ages of 18 and 24 months, but there are some
children who do not have the necessary skills to start toilet
training until the age of 3 or 4 years.

Buy what you will need for toilet training. One of the first things
that you will need to buy to help train your child is a potty. You
can also buy some small things to give your child as rewards to
encourage him every time he uses the potty successfully. You can
also buy picture books or DVDs from which your child can learn
how to use the toilet.
Step 2
Teach your child to tell you when he feels he needs to urinate,
but do not expect this to happen quickly. Before that happens, he
will start telling you that he wants to urinate, but that would be
after the fact. In that case you must not rebuke him or scare him.
You have to remember that this may take some time, and that it
will be successful sometimes but not at other times.
Step 3
Teach the child the names of parts of his body and the names for
urine and faeces etc., so that he will understand what you are
saying when you are teaching him how to use the toilet.
Step 4
Get the child used to sitting on the potty. You can encourage him
to sit on the potty even at times when he does not want to
urinate so that he will get used to it. But do not force him to sit
on it because children at this age are always ready to be stubborn
and go against the instructions that forced on them. So you have
to avoid pressurizing or forcing him.
Step 5
Explain to the child after he has got used to sitting on the potty
willingly and after he is able to express his need to urinate that
when he sits on the potty he has to lift up his clothes. You have to
watch for the signs or gestures that indicate that he wants to
urinate. When you notice the signs, take him and sit him on the
potty. If your child defecates in his diaper before going to the
potty, take him again and make him sit on the potty, then take off
