NEVER force him to use it. That can lead to bedwetting, day times accidents.

When your son is ready to potty train he will begin to have dry diapers for longer periods of time such as for an hour or 30 minutes and will start pulling at his diaper and taking it off when he wants to use the toilet.

When your son can pull up his pants or pull down his pants then that is also another sign of potty training readiness.

When your son poops on schedule, shows interest in the toilet, shows independence, and can follow simple directions then they can be potty trained.

The average age for potty training kids is between 18 months to 2 years of age.

That is for most kids who are ready to potty train at those ages.

Some kids are ready to potty train and get out of diapers as early as age 18 months and are fully potty trained by 2 years old.

The child may still need to wear diapers at night for bed wetting but they should be able to go all day without a diaper.

Some kids may not potty train and be out of diapers until age 3 years old to as late as 4 years old.

A kid will eventually potty train when they are ready.

It's normal for a kid to need to wear diapers for bed wetting from age 3 to as late as age 8 years old and even older.

Some kids will continue to wet the bed for quite awhile and it's normal and some kids may wet the bed until age 17 or 18 years old and some people wet the bed all their lives and that is also normal.

Forcing potty training too early can be harmful to the child's health because they may try to hold in their poop or pee and that can lead to kidney and bowel issues.
