Content: If your toddler isn’t ready to start training, go back to diapers a bit longer and revisit the subject in a few weeks. Bring on the praise. When you have successes, remind him how proud you are and even provide treats, like a sticker for every successful pee and two for every poop. How long does it usually take to potty train a toddler? Some toddlers pick up potty training almost immediately and for some, it takes a little longer. Your child isn’t developmentally behind if he doesn’t get it right off the bat or if he starts later. Some kids start around age 2 and others are well into the 3s. The process can take weeks or months, and nighttime potty training can take much longer. Most children should stay dry at night by between 5 and 7 years old. So be prepared with disposable nighttime training pants and mattress covers.
