Potty training readiness can vary from child to child, but here are three common signs that your toddler might be ready to start the potty training process:

1. Interest in the Potty:
   • If your toddler starts showing interest in the bathroom or expresses curiosity about using the potty, it might be a sign of readiness. They may ask questions about the toilet, want to flush it, or imitate adults or older siblings using the bathroom.
2. Awareness of Bodily Functions:
   • A toddler who is ready for potty training may demonstrate awareness of their bodily functions. They might let you know when they have a wet or soiled pull up diaper or show signs of discomfort with dirty diapers. Some toddlers may even hide or indicate that they are about to go.
3. Ability to Follow Simple Instructions:
   • Potty training requires a level of understanding and cooperation. If your toddler can follow simple instructions and is willing to cooperate with you, it may be a good time to start the training process. This includes being able to pull down their pants, sit on the potty, and flush the toilet with assistance.

It’s important to note that readiness for potty training can happen at different ages for different children. Starting the process when your child shows these signs and expresses readiness can lead to a smoother and more successful transition. However, it’s also crucial to be patient and supportive, as each child progresses at their own pace.
