5 Signs Your Child Is Ready to Potty Train
Are you wondering if your child is ready to potty train? If your toddler is making more than 3 of these signs this is a sign that your toddler is ready to potty train. Let’s get into it,’5 Signs Your Child Is Ready To Potty Train.’
1. Tugging at Soiled Diaper
This is a sign that your toddler is not comfortable with his or her diaper being wet or dirty. Your little one has been in a pamper since day one. This has given him/her a sense of comfort knowing I can go to the bathroom here.
When they are babies they will cry after the pamper has been soiled for a long period of time. Once your baby hits about 10 months, they are more self-aware and will not like to stay in a soiled diaper as long as they did when they were little. This is one of the first signs of your child being given a sign he/she is ready to potty train.
Note: I’m not saying it is okay to let your toddler stay in a soiled diaper for an extended period of time. For instance, if you are on a long car trip or during nap time. Examples such as those.
Carry on 🙂
2. Staying Dry Longer
If your child is less wet throughout the day, yay! Do make sure that this is not because your child is lacking enough fluids or other health issues. If you are concerned you should speak to your child’s primary physician.
However, for instance, if your toddler wakes up from his or her sleep to pee or because their diaper is soiled. This is a clue that your child is transitioning into being ready to potty train.

4. Copycat
Are you noticing that your toddler is trying to copycat you going to the bathroom? This is a very important step. Even if your baby is not copycatting this step.
