At what age should you potty train a boy?

There's no single right age for potty training, as every child develops at their own pace. However, most children are ready between 18 months and 3 years old. Here are some signs your child might be ready:

* Shows interest in the potty: Does your child point to their diaper when they need to go, or show interest in using the potty?

* Can stay dry for longer periods: Can they go 2 hours without needing a diaper change?

* Has regular bowel movements: Do they poop at roughly the same time each day?

* Can follow simple instructions: Can they understand and follow basic directions like "go to the potty"?

* Can communicate their needs: Can they tell you they need to go to the bathroom?

Here are some additional tips:

* Avoid forcing it: Potty training should be a positive experience. If your child isn't ready, don't push them.

* Choose a method that works for you and your child: There are many different methods available, so find one that fits your family's lifestyle.

* Be patient and consistent: Potty training takes time and patience. Don't get discouraged if your child has setbacks.

* Celebrate successes: Praise your child when they use the potty successfully.

If you have any concerns, talk to your child's doctor. They can help you assess your child's development and offer advice on the best potty training approach for your family.
