Shamindra turns 18 months this month and I’m wondering the same. He’s been displaying his readiness for toileting. I reckon the timing could be right.

Shamindra has become increasingly aware of his bodily functions, and seems to grasp the understanding of it all by referring to ‘pee’ and ‘poop’ and even requesting for a ‘change’ of diaper.


Some privacy pleeeease.....



He goes off to a quiet corner to squat when he’s ready for a bowel movement.

He loves to imitate and is eager to sit on the potty.

Is your toddler ready to be toilet trained? How are you going about it?
