Toilet training is often viewed as a fairly straightforward process. This may be
why much of the prescriptive literature available today has not been subject
empirical investigation. This study followed twenty-six children through toilet
training to investigate five factors that are assumed to be associated with a
successful outcome to training - child readiness, parental readiness,
behavioural style of parents, child temperament and the type of approach
parent's use to train their child.
Three of these five factors - behavioural style of parent's, child temperament
and the approach parent's use to train their child - were found to be associated
with a successful outcome.
Advice for parent's who have difficulties with toilet training is presented along
with recommendations for improving the measures used in this study for future
research.
