In general, people may wait until their toddlers are between 18 and 24 months old to start potty training. However, every child is different, and they may be ready a bit later. So, to ensure that all the techniques to potty train your child work, look for the following signs as these will tell you if they are ready or not:

Your child shows signs of interest in using the potty and is willing to be more independent.
Your child has started to verbalize or show facial expressions about peeing or pooping.
Your child doesn’t want to be wearing a dirty diaper because they feel uncomfortable.
Your child stays dry for longer (an hour or 2), which results in changing fewer diapers.
Your child can follow basic instructions.
Your child can get on and off the potty and stay seated long enough to pee or poop.

Remember that it’s important not to push this process and wait until your little one is ready. Be patient and let their motivation take the lead, even if you feel eager to start teaching them. Also, keep in mind that accidents may occur, and punishment is not an effective part of this process, as it can discourage your child.
