how old is a child when they are being potty trained
Potty Training Around Age 3. Around 36 months: Most children make the potty training leap around their third birthday â 40 to 60 percent of children are completely potty trained by 36 months of age (American Family Physician). However, some children wonât be trained until after they are 31/2.
Before the advent of disposable diapers, nearly 90 percent of children were potty trained before they were 2 years old. In fact one study says in 1957, 92 percent of children were toilet trained by 18 months. The invention of disposable diapers in 1961 changed all that. Since then the age has been inching older.
