How To Know When Your Child Is Ready For Potty Training

1) ⁣⁣Physiologically

Can they sense the sensation?
Are they telling you when their diaper is wet?
Can they manage their body independently?
Are they ready to embark on this journey?

2) Cognitively

Can they follow more than 1-step directions? Let’s walk to the potty. Let’s sit down. If they are overwhelmed or can’t understand the expectation then it’s probably too soon.

3) Temperament

This is where you key into the unique aspects of your child. What is their attitude toward potty training? Can they be successful with my support? This is the hardest piece because it’s very unique to each child.

For more in-depth knowledge on these cues, listen to the full episode with Quiara now — it’s perfect for those Moms and Dads getting ready to potty train their little ones or dealing with even more difficult issues around pelvic health.
