I. Introduction
A. Importance of Potty Training: Potty training is a significant milestone in a child's development, as it allows them to gain independence and self-care skills. It also saves parents time and money in the long run, as children no longer need to rely on diapers.
B. Understanding your child's development: Potty training should be approached in a way that is tailored to each child's individual development and needs. Children typically start showing an interest in potty training between the ages of 18 months and 3 years, but some children may not be ready until they are 4 years old or older.
C. Setting realistic expectations: Potty training is a process that can take time and patience, and every child is different. Parents should be prepared for accidents and setbacks, and understand that progress may be slow at times. It's important to stay positive and supportive throughout the process and not rush or pressure your child.
