It’s important to create a regular schedule for using the toilet with your child. This helps create consistency and encourages them to form a habit of using the bathroom regularly throughout the day. Generally speaking, children between 2 and 5 years old need to go every 2-3 hours during waking hours (at least). During nighttime sleeping hours, however, they should be able to stay dry until morning (and this is one way you can tell if they’re ready).
