You will always hear other mothers tell you they had their child potty trained at 12 months, 18 mo, 24 mo, etc. Ask yourself was the baby potty trained or was the mom trained? As a general rule, to help your child achieve a satisfaction of learning to be independent the child must be mature enough to understand his bodily urges and the need to use his/her potty chair. 3 years of age is an excellant starting point. If the time period falls into connection with the summertime where regular big boy/girls underwear can be used and get wet or soiled a few times your child will start to connect the urges with the outcome. It will be a much happier training time for both of you. If your child is in daycare be sure they know your schedule and can assist you in your plan. Good Luck, A.
