Document Summary

It is important that parents not push toddlers to achieve toilet training before they are ready. Nor hold them back when they are ready: assessing readiness is, therefore, one of the key components of successful toilet training. The average age of readiness for toilet training is 22 months. Three ways to assess whether toddlers are ready for toilet training is by determining: If they are staying dryer for longer periods of time (especially overnight) If they are expressing discomfort with wet diapers, and. If they are showing an interest in using the toilet. Providing health care for infants and toddlers: when parents access available health care for their infants and toddlers, they allow medical professionals to: Determine if their babies are growing and developing according to expected rates. Respond to health problems (such as ear infections) that periodically rise during infancy: one of the most important aspects of medical intervention is immunization against communicable diseases.
