Pedemy All toolsTap your child’s age and the signs you see. You will get a clear answer and a simple plan that fits where your child is now.
This tool helps parents see if their toddler is ready for potty training. Tap your child’s age and the readiness signs you see, such as staying dry for 2 hours, telling you when they pee or poop, following simple directions, and being interested in the potty.
Based on the answers, the tool says whether your child looks ready, is getting close, or isn’t ready yet, and gives a simple plan: a potty chair, regular potty times, praise for trying, and no punishment for accidents. Most children are ready sometime between 18 months and 3 years.
The advice follows the American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org). The tool also lists signs to talk with the doctor about, such as pain when peeing, constipation, or accidents after being trained.
Common signs are staying dry for 2 hours or after naps, pooping at regular times, showing you when they pee or poop, following simple directions, walking to the potty and pulling pants down and up, disliking wet diapers, and being interested in the potty.
There is no single right age. Most children are ready sometime between 18 months and 3 years. Starting before your child is ready usually makes training take longer.
Yes. Staying dry at night often comes much later than during the day. Wetting the bed is common until age 5 or 6, and sometimes later. Talk with your child’s doctor if it worries you or your child.
