Question
How long does it generally take for a child to learn to control their urine for the first time?
Answer
Generally, the time it takes for a child to learn to control their urine varies from child to child, but training can usually begin between the ages of two and three. It is recommended to provide prompts at fixed times such as after meals or upon waking up, and observe the child’s response. If the child is not yet ready, more time may be needed for training. At the same time, parents can offer encouragement after the child successfully controls their urine to boost their confidence.
