Before starting to toilet train your little one, assess their readiness. Assessing this is probably the easiest part of the whole toilet training process. However, once the process begins you may face a few challenges along the way. Staying calm and positive, as well as following some simple tips, will hopefully make the whole process a little easier.

When your toddler has a fever it is always a concern but don’t worry, it is not always a cause for panic. Fever is a symptom that occurs when the body is fighting an unwanted intruder such as bacteria or virus. Fever in toddlers can lead to adverse reactions so keep an eye on your toddler if they have a temperature and don’t hesitate to see your doctor if you are concerned.

Language milestones depend on your toddler’s genetic abilities and the environment in which they are exposed to. Some toddlers are happy to babble away even if they know they don’t sound the same as you. Others wait and wait until they have mastered the words in their head and then feel confident enough to speak them.
