Deep dives

Understanding Potty Training Accidents

Potty training accidents vary significantly based on the child's stage in the training process. Early accidents serve as valuable learning tools, as children are still figuring out their body's signals rather than intentionally misbehaving. It is crucial to recognize that accidents two weeks into the process differ from those occurring after a few months; the former indicates that the child is still learning the mechanics of potty training. Parents should focus on observing their child's unique patterns and signals rather than fixating on how often they should be urinating.
