WHAT AGE SHOULD I START POTTY TRAINING?
A child is never too young to start learning about the toilet. The best thing is to regularly take them with you to the bathroom and let them learn by example. It is also good for them to occasionally wear cloth diapers/training pants so they don’t lose touch with the feeling of going pee. Disposable diapers desensitize them and part of potty training is simply relearning how to voluntarily release into a toilet.
