Join the next Baby Dance Club term – starts next week!

April 18, 2025

What is the right age to start toilet training?

February 3, 2025

Daytime wee (urinary) and poo (faecal) toilet training is usually achieved by 4 years of age. But how do you know when is the right time or age to start toilet training your child? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all; rather, it’s a consideration that involves understanding your child’s developmental readiness and resources available.  Toilet training readiness signs  Most children start training between 18 and 24 months of age (Albaramki, et al., 2017).
