Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Current guidelines do not suggest starting toilet training between 10 and 16 months of age. In fact, many experts recommend waiting until the child shows signs of readiness, such as staying dry for longer periods, showing interest in the toilet, and being able to communicate their needs. Starting too early or too late can cause frustration and setbacks in the training process.
