When is the right time to begin teaching your child to use the toilet? How is the process of potty learning best supported? Parents today face isolation from the support of family and neighbors who traditionally helped with raising children. Marketing used in the disposable diaper industry strives to convince parents that their children are not yet ready to move out of wearing diapers. A child who continues to wear disposable diapers between the ages of 2 and 3 creates an additional half ton of solid waste in the landfill--solid waste that can take nearly a quarter century to decompose! Some pediatricians, many of whom have never taught a child to use the toilet, advise parents to wait longer and longer to begin the process. And parents struggle to diaper their increasingly independent toddlers who often resist the process.
Children first show signs of readiness to begin potty learning between 15-27 months. Learn what these signs are and how they relate to developmental stages in toddlers. Join the nearly 1400 families in San Francisco who are respecting their children's communication and working toward environmental responsibility through Diaper Free Toddlers. Our classes are designed for families of toddlers 12-27 months.
