Toilet Training

Teaching two young children the art of bladder control can, if attempted at too young an age be a nightmare for both mother and child. For children to become fully toilet trained they must have gained sufficient control of the muscles concerned and this ability takes physical maturation, just as learning to ride a bike does.
Children, especially those of differing sexes, will progress at their own speed, and you may find that one masters the technique well before the other. This however doesn't suggest that the issue should be forced on the slower twin - rather praise each for their individual efforts. The fact remains though, that as their mother, you will have to make the decision as to if you feel they are ready for toilet training, or if you are prepared to leave it for another couple of months.
