To everyone asking what step stool that is: (I also had issues with her link not working that you can have emailed to you) After searching all over for that stool or something similar, I found the Ikea trogen child step stool, I’m not sure if it’s the same one she is using in the video but it looks just like it.

Hi Emma. Love the videos for potty training. Would you be able to provide a link for a wooden stepping stool with handles as I’m having trouble finding one like it. Thanks

[@tessagold8917]

Thank you for your amazing content Emma! One question: how would you handle pottying out-and-about? These products are not exactly portable, is it better to have a travel-specific potty/insert, or to just have to hold them over a toilet? I could see pros and cons to both but maybe there's a third option I'm not considering?

[@samiam5326]

Great video Emma. At what age do you recommend starting toilet training?

[@EmmaHubbard]

I prefer to wait until the child is around 2.5 years. At this age they can stay dry for 2 hours and have the ability to control their muscles to voluntarily do a poo or a wee. A child is toilet training is when they can tell you they need to go to the toilet and goes to the toilet without having accidents during the day. I find this is something children generally achieve at 2.5 years or older. Before then children are toilet timed (so parents take them to the toilet at set times) and accidents are common.

[@samiam5326]

[@AlisonTu]

Same question as someone else previously asked, Emma, this is really great advice but what about when you are out and about having to use other people's toilets or public toilets? Do you try and use the seat reducer then by taking it with you?

[@CalynnCorner]

That's what I want to know.

[@AlisonTu]

@@CalynnCorner She replied on another video where I asked the same question: "Hi Alison, when out and about you can use portable reducer rings. I do generally find that once the child is toilet trained which can happen in a few days to a week if they are ready, they will be comfortable to use a toilet at the park or shops if you just help support them. But there are portable reducer rings which fold up and go in a nappy/handbag as well."

[@poweroflove2932]

Thank you for this video. great help. One question: what if the child gets used to these things and then these are not available in other places like their schools etc.

[@EmmaHubbard]

No worries at all! Once they are toilet trained then they are able to generalise and use toilets without these features. You will find that the school toilets are made for kids - they are shorter and have kid sized toilet seats so they won’t need the foot stool or toilet set insert.

[@Andrew.Anthony.Rodriguez.0.]

The thumbnail though! 😂.

[@ashleighspence9619]

My 18 month old’s bottom is still too small for even the family style seat reducer. Would you recommend I just keep using the little removable potty ring until she’s just a bit bigger? She’s doing great with it for now - no pinching, very successful poos and wees. Her feet also don’t dangle far enough to even touch a foot stool so for now she just puts her feet up on the adult seat and sits almost cross-legged with her knees higher than her hips.

[@stephaniehorn1029]

Emma, you are an angel. Questions about potty training. My boy is 14 months and I’ve purchase potty training seat for the floor it is fixed to the floor so it won’t tip over. Do I seat him to poop, and stand to pee? If my boy takes 10-15 minutes to finish pooping in his diaper. At what point to I take him to the seat? Do I add water to the removal bowl, similar to a regular toilet? And finally no one else in the family wants to start introducing potty training, how do I over come this to be consistent when at work.

[@AHSH2023]

Q1. Should a parent stay inside the toilet all the time while kid is trying to pee or poo? Child is 3.5 yr old and safely sits. Q 2. How long (time) should we wait for child to stay sitting on toilet seat? My child can sit for longer than 5 minutes (but hasn't pee or poo in toilet yet. It's just the beginning for us). Q3. So, there are 3 toilets in home. This means putting 3 famioy style toilet seats AND 3 wooden stools ? Thank you for your wonderful tips.

My little is only 13 months so we have a while before we need this, but I'm so glad I'm getting this information ahead of time! I was noticing just the other day that when he poos, he assumes a squatting position, and I've read many times that this is the natural position that humans want to be in when pooing. I was just thinking, I wonder how I can help him (years from now haha) keep this natural position once he's ready to toilet train. The wooden ladder! That seems such an obvious, simple answer! Love it. What are your recommendations when traveling? Thanks!

[@EmmaHubbard]

I prefer using a standard toilet seat straight away. Kids are use to seeing their parents use a standard toilet and this is what your child is going to need to use in the end. Stat with.a potty just adds an extra transition into the toilet training process and can make the kids fearful of using the toilet.

[@kpp8285]

Hi Emma. Thanks for all the great advice. May I ask, what age would be the best to start toilet training?

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi! I usually recommend starting toilet training when the little one is able to stay dry for 1 -2 hours at a time and is doing soft formed poops (so not constipated). Usually kids are able to stay dry for 1 -2 hours when they are 2 years of age. So I recommend starting toilet training when the little one is at least 2 years of age. Hope that helps!

[@goldywolf4680]

He is incredibly smart, he is reading already and can hold conversations, but no amount of Im proud of you, candy or youre a big boy mean anything to me. In fact he told me once that he just wants to be a baby and wear diapers. I have nothing. He’s been in underwear for weeks and I take him to the bathroom every two hours.

A language delay can make it a bit more challenging. But what is more important is if their body is developmentally ready. So by that I mean they have the bladder capacity and control to stay dry for 1 -2 hours at a time and are not constipated. If your child is able to do these things, then they are ready to start toilet training. Like you said age should not be the deciding factor. The only other thing I would add is if a little one has a language delay then visuals are extremely helpful.
