Bubbles in the Bowl: Using Developmental Theory to Design Potty Training

Potty training a child is an important, and sometimes stressful, milestone for both parent and child. Scores of products and training schedules have been touted as breakthroughs over the years, with some claiming that a child can be trained by the age of 1, and in only a few days.

developmental issues that might influence toilet training (e.g., muscular control, cognitive maturity)
practical tips for promoting success (e.g., pour colored shampoo in the toilet so that urinating causes colorful bubbles to form)
possible causes of failure (e.g., neural immaturity, cultural values)
