A few signs to look for when your child is ready for toilet training are. 

Uncomfortable in Wet or Dirty Diapers 

This doesn't apply to all children since some children could care less if they're are sitting in a wet or dirty diaper.

But some kids hate being wet and poopy and will let you know they want changed. Some will talk and tell you and others will just rip the diaper off when wet or dirty.

Removing Diaper themselves. 

Some kids who are ready for toilet training will remove there diapers whether they're wet or dirty or dry.

Some other signs of potty training readiness are.

  • Pulling at a wet or dirty diaper.
