Generally speaking, the bladder of a child gradually matures around 2 years old and has the ability to receive the body signal of wanting to go to the toilet. If the body is not well developed, no amount of training will help. Some parents also urinate their children. As long as they listen to their boos, their children will urinate. Parents think that this is a manifestation of their children learning to control their urination. In fact, it is not. It is very likely that children will form reflex urination, the bladder will be underdeveloped, and the volume will decrease, causing harm to the body.
Quit diapers, age is not standard
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that toilet training be completed within 18-24 months, this is not a dead rule. Because every child's development speed is different, age is only a reference. When you can take off your diaper depends on your child's development. If a time must be given, then the child is ready. When the child's body sends out the following signals, we can consider helping the child to quit diapers: understand the instructions of the parents; the diaper can be kept dry for more than 2 hours; you can express your subjective wishes; there is a certain rule of defecation every day; when the diaper is wet I am irritable, I hope my buttocks remain dry; I can sit quietly for a while; I will take off my pants and lift my pants.
Of course, we don't need to wait until the child meets all the above indicators before starting toilet training. As long as there are 4 or more signals, we can try it out with our children.
