Recognize Signs to Potty Train Promptly

Around 18 to 24 months, children show an increased curiosity about bathroom activities, such as wanting to see what adults are doing or interacting with toilet-related items. This interest indicates a deeper understanding of socialized bathroom behavior, suggesting it’s an opportune time to introduce potty training. Additionally, if a child seeks private spaces to poop in their diaper, it signifies their desire for privacy, highlighting the urgency for potty training. Parents should not postpone this process even if they perceive speech delays in their child. Addressing potty training takes precedence, as delays can make it more challenging later on, despite ongoing efforts to support speech development.
