What
is the best time to potty train a child?
There is no right or wrong way to teach a child how to potty
as long as one is not abusive to the child. For most children, potty training
should begin round the age of 2-3. If you are patient, have energy and the
child shows interest, he/she will be diaper-free in no time. Potty training is generally
not a scheduled event in the life of a parent. There should be no time tables
and deadlines. And even after the potty training, there will always be some
accidents for the first few months.
Most healthy children are potty trained by
the age of 3. In some cases where potty training has been delayed till the age
of 3-4, the major reason is that the parent has not made any effort to wean the
child off diapers. And that simply means more poop to clean up afterwards.
