Signs your child is not ready for potty training

It might seem like just yesterday you were changing your toddler's first diaper, and now you're wondering if it's time to start potty training!

Read on to find out more.

When do you start potty training?

There's no magic potty-training age when kids are ready to start learning to use the potty, but some start to develop the necessary physical and cognitive skills between 18 and 24 months.

Many parents don't start potty training until their kids are between two-and-a-half to 3 years old, when daytime bladder control has become more reliable.

And some children aren't interested in potty training until they're closer to 3, or even 4. While it might be more convenient to have a 2-year-old who's itching to potty train, it’s also very normal to have a child who wants to wait longer, or ends up going through a more gradual potty-training process.

Keep in mind that starting potty training before your child is truly ready doesn't mean you'll finish soon
