How did you know when your child was ready for potty training?
DS is 18 months old, but a month or so ago started telling me when he'd done a wee or poo. Lately he has has been telling me that he needs a wee or poo, ie before he does it.
Also when he gets out of the bath, he walks to his bedroom and wees in the same spot! I tried putting him on the toilet after the bath but he didnt do anything, then still went to his room to wee on the floor!
I did praise him for weeing on the floor, I just said wow you've done a wee wee, good boy, as I didn't want to upset him if that makes sense.
Do you think it's worth trying a potty yet, or wait? I really don't want to push him, as to be honest I thought we'd have a good while yet before we had to think about potties!
