Potty-training success hinges on physical and emotional readiness, not a specific age. Many kids show interest in potty training by age 2, but others might not be ready until age 2 1/2 or even older â and there's no rush. If you start potty training too early, it might take longer to train your child.
Some signs that kids may be ready to potty train include: 1  wanting to wear underwear. 2  wanting soiled diapers changed immediately. 3  able to follow simple directions. 4  shows an interested in the potty. 5  stays dry for at least two hours at a time. 6  can verbalize his need to use the potty.
