Potty training is one of the most awaited milestones for all parents. No parent has ever said they miss changing diapers for their kids – it is presumably the least glamorous part of parenting. So every parent starts potty training the moment their child is “big enough”. However, it is not as easy as that.
No matter what age your friend’s kid was potty trained, remember that your child is unique and will follow a different routine. Potty training is all about timing. If you force your baby to potty train before he is ready, then it will actually do more harm than good. If your baby is not physically capable of holding his pee in when he feels like it, then he is not ready to be potty trained. By forcing him to do so will give him a negative association with potty training altogether – and this will result in potty training taking longer than it would otherwise have.
