Kendra and Sam are toilet training their daughter. Based on research, describe two important factors that Kendra and Sam should keep in mind to promote successful training and a positive experience for their daughter.

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Kendra and Sam should use gentle encouragement and praise when their daughter is successful in using the toilet or a potty chair, and punishment for making mistakes should be avoided.
2. Kendra and Sam should approach toilet training at the appropriate time. Parents who initiate training between 17 and 19 months have earlier success in toilet training, but also a longer period of training. Parents who begin training after 27 months have a shorter period of training.
