🚽 Potty Training 🚽

When is my child ready to potty train?

✅They know when they've got a wet or dirty nappy
✅They get to know when they're p*eing and may tell you they're doing it
✅The gap between wetting is at least an hour (if it's less, potty training may fail, and at the very least will be extremely hard work for you)
✅They show they need to p*e by fidgeting or going somewhere quiet or hidden
they know when they need to p*e and may say so in advance

for more information ⬇

Learn the signs that your child may be ready to start potty training, and how to teach your child to use a potty.
