Briefly discuss when and how children should be toilet trained, and indicators that training should begin.
What will be an ideal response?
- Pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton suggests that there is no single time to begin toilet training and that it should begin only when children are ready. Signs of readiness include
- Staying dry at least two hours at a time during the day or waking up dry after naps
- Regular, predictable bowel movements
- An indication, through facial expressions or words, that urination or a bowel movement is about to occur
- The ability to follow simple directions
- The ability to get to the bathroom and undress alone
- Discomfort with soiled diapers
- Asking to use the toilet
- Desire to wear underwear.
- Children must not only be ready physically, but also emotionally, and if they show strong signs of resistance to toilet training, it should be put off.
