Potty training is the process of teaching a child to use the toilet instead of diapers. This typically begins when a child shows signs of readiness, such as staying dry for longer periods or expressing interest in using the toilet. Parents often use positive reinforcement, like praise or rewards, to encourage their child during this transition. The process can vary in duration and success for each child. It usually involves teaching the child when to go, how to use the toilet, and proper hygiene practices. Consistency and patience are key, as accidents may happen during this learning phase.
