Briefly discuss when and how children should be toilet trained
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: 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, predicable 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; and the 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. Although some children are ready for toilet training between 18 and 24 months, some are not ready until 30 months or older. Toilet training has begun later over the last few decades.
