Toilet Training and Development

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the writer's beliefs that he/she does not believe that there is a specific age at which young children should be indoctrinated with the toilet training process. The writer continues that there is most certainly a range that needs to be considered by parents and child care professionals in order to maximize the effectiveness of toilet training. The writer argues that parents especially need to be cognizant of the exact moment to begin this training as early as eighteen months, but certainly no later than twenty-four months.

From the Paper:

"Determining the correct age to begin toilet training can be an exceptional point of consternation for the new parent - or even the seasoned parent whose subsequent children do not fit the developmental mold of earlier children. Even tracing the literature back as far as Freud, we can see that that particular psychologist did not feel that toilet training was a natural process. Consequently, Freud felt that incorrect application of this process possessed a high potential for developmental trauma (Miserandino, 1994). Though I do not believe that there is a specific age at which young children should be indoctrinated with the toilet training process, there is most certainly a range that needs to be considered by parents and child care professionals in order to maximize the effectiveness of toilet training."
