There is no age limit to when you should start potty training your child.Kids develop at different rates. They'll let you know when they're ready to start potty training, usually between ages two and four. It's best to let them set the pace and to use positive reinforcement throughout the process.

Determine whether your child is ready for potty training

The following signs indicate your child may be ready to begin potty training:

• Stays dry for several hours (indicates that bladder muscles have developed).    
• Follows simple directions and can pull their own pants up and down.
• Lets you know when they’re having a bowel movement (indicates an understanding of the physical signals around going to the bathroom).
• Uses words for urine and bowel movements.
• Demonstrates an interest in adult bathroom habits.

Gear up for potty training

When they're ready, you'll need a potty seat and training pants. Potty seats come in many designs and colors to help make toilet training fun for kids, but the basic requirements are simply a comfortable place to sit and a removable bowl that mom or dad can empty into the toilet.
