Content: During this time, toddlers face a crisis between autonomy and shame, which is often centered on potty training. They want to do things on their own and gain control rather than simply follow their parent’s instructions. For this developmental task, parents should give ample support for toddlers to develop their independence while protecting them from harm and continuous failure. Fear of using the toilet or potty
Toddlers are often skeptical to use or do something that they’ve never seen before. He’s done everything in his diapers, and it’s rational that he might take a drawback before using his potty or the toilet.
