Successful Toilet Training: A Step-by-Step Guide

Starting too early can precipitate functional constipation. Begin after 2 years of age.

Make the child sit on the toilet, 2–3 times a day, for 5–10 minutes after meals.

Toilet training is a individualistic approach.

Ensure the correct sitting position, make it a routine, and use rewards to motivate.

A combined approach of counseling and positive reinforcement will help the child develop good potty habits.

Toilet training should be started when both the child and the parent are willing and able to participate. A positive, consistent approach to toilet training is unlikely to cause long-term harm.
