Once your toilet teaching is underway, it will make a big difference what your toddler wears. Forget about fancy overalls and ruffled tights during the early stages. The most important thing is for the child to be able to negotiate pulling his or her pants down and getting to the toilet in time. When you're at home, a T-shirt and training pants will be just fine. Some kids will take to the toilet at once and leave the diapers behind for good.

Nearly 25 percent of all five year-olds still wet their beds.
