The expert view
'Most parents decide to start potty training their child between their second and third birthdays,' says Laverne Antrobus, author of Ain't Misbehavin'. 'The average age is around 33 months, but some children will be ready sooner, and some won't be interested for a while longer. If your child isn't ready, then don't push it - and don't worry about it. Remember that it's not a race and they will get the hang of it sooner or later.'
