You can enjoy yourself this year by focusing on a year full of exciting successes, not a full year of crisis.

Many children are now ready to get toilet training after the 28th month. But as always, keep in mind that not every child comes to this stage at the same time, some earlier and some later. Here are some tips for your toddler indicating whether he is ready. Children often wet their diaper because they have almost no bladder control until approximately 20 months of age. It is not realistic to impose toilet training on them until this month. If your child stays dry for 1 or rarely for 2 hours and wakes up at night when he is wet, he may be ready to start toilet training. If your child has started to make his poop at a certain time, that is, always after breakfast or always before bedtime, you know when to place him on toilet seat; it is an appropriate stage for toilet training. Some children may be annoyed when the diaper gets dirty. This is a good opportunity to start toilet training.

In the third year, some toddlers are interested in numbers and letters, but this is not the case in every child. If your child is not interested in letters or numbers, do not force him.
Most children who have finished 2 years of age have 16 teeth. 4 more teeth grow in the age 3; 4 pieces upper and lower rear molars will grow in the 24-36th months. Your toddler continues with his milk teeth until the age of 6 - 7. Permanent teeth begin to grow in the ages of 6-7.
Apart from these, some of the children who have completed the 36th month can use 2 or more adjectives (such as yellow, large), wear a T-shirt on their own, jump forward at long intervals, stand on each foot for at least 2 seconds, and explain what two different objects are for and what they are used for. Even a small part of children who have completed their 3rd year can copy it if you draw a circle, prepare a bowl of cereals, get dressed without help, recognize 4 colours. However, every toddler does not achieve these stages of development in these months, some may achieve later.
