It is possible that potty training if the toddler isn’t demonstrating all of these signs. However, most of them should be present before any form of transition begins. Again, every child is different. This is not a process that should be rushed or overly emphasized, as that may put too much pressure on the child. Use positive reinforcement ad your child will be potty trained in no time.
