How do I know if my 2-year old is ready for toilet training?

If your child is not ready for toilet training, the process usually ends up taking longer in total if you try it. The following are signs to look for that indicate your child's readiness for toilet training:

Your child is willing to cooperate and sit on a potty without fuss or hassle.
Your child has predictable bowel movements and their nappy stays dry for at least two hours at a time.
Your child is able to inform you when it is time to go to the toilet. At first, this warning will be too late to avoid soiling the nappy.
If your child wakes up from a nap dry, there is indication that bladder control is working properly.
Your child is able to get undressed easily, without help and can locate their potty quickly.

Do not rush potty and toilet training and always encourage your child, even if mistakes are made.
