Toilet training can be very trying on both parents and children.
We have some tips from expert, Meg Zweiback, designed to help your child achieve this milestone with ease. Well, I think rather than looking at a child's age, it often is easier to look at a child's stage of development. For some children, although they're interested in imitating parents during the second year of life, that is between one and two years, they're not terribly interested in doing things to be cooperative with parents. What they want to do is brush their teeth, because they see a parent brushing teeth. But if the parent tries to elicit them to do it themselves, they run away into the other room.
