Toilet training, or potty training, is the process of training a young child to use
the toilet for urination and defecation, though training may start with a smaller toilet bowl-
shaped device (often known as a potty). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_training

Objectives
It is to help a child learn to stay clean and dry. In training toileting, two goals must be met in
order to achieve independent and appropriate toileting skills: (1) continence, where an individual
must be able to recognize the sensation for elimination and (2) mastery of the entire chain of
behaviors accompanying a toilet visit (i.e., going to the bathroom, removing clothes, excreting
into the toilet, redressing, flushing, and washing hands; (Lott & Kroeger, 2004; Taras & Matese,
1990).
He/she knows when he/she needs to shit or pee (make stool or urine) and has learned to
hold on so he/she does not go in his/her clothing or on the floor. (Bowel and bladder
control)
He/she tells people when he/she needs to do his/her toilet or
He/she takes himself/herself to a special place (pot, toilet, latrine or at least outside the
house), removes necessary clothing, goes, cleans himself/herself in the customary way,
puts his clothing back on, and does whatever may be necessary to get rid of the waste.
