Fraught with both stress and triumph, the period of toilet training can take from days to months. For a typical child, learning to gain control over the body’s internal stimuli can be at best challenging. For many children, however, these internal cues can be overwhelming and confusing, leading to both a frustrating and traumatic toileting experience.
