When to start toilet training is addressed in a separate article. This one is about how to start, how to keep it moving, and what to do when it stalls. Drawing on Brazelton's child-oriented approach as its foundation, this article organizes the practical questions: choosing between a potty and a toilet insert, using reward sticker charts, separating daytime and nighttime training timelines. The goal is to offer structural perspective for the situations "nothing is progressing at all" and "nighttime diapers won't go away" — not additional pressure.
