Toilet training<\/strong> is my favourite game-changer milestone. I still get a thrill when I think about The Day the Diaper Genie Left the Building. This stage was one of the tougher (wetter and smellier) ones to get through, taking about six months longer than the three-day weekend I envisioned. But the end result was well worth it: no more diapers.<\/p>\n

Milestones are goalposts that mark your child\u2019s increasing independence, says Sharon Smile, a developmental paediatrician at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto. Those benchmarks never stop coming. \u201cYou pass one goalpost and there\u2019s another and another,\u201d says Smile.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common to expect your kid to meet those goals when the parenting books tell you they should, and it\u2019s exciting, too, but don\u2019t get too caught up on timelines. \u201cKids are always in a state of development,\u201d says Kathryn Keely, division chief of community paediatrics at The Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa.<\/p>

Resist the urge to push your kid to meet milestones<\/strong> on a pre-set schedule. \u201cA child feels the pressure and will balk at that activity,\u201d says Keely. Instead, Keely tells parents to look for indications that a child is moving toward the next developmental stage rather than determine it\u2019s time they do it.<\/p>\n

Here are five milestones and the signs that suggest your little one may be ready to start tackling them.<\/p>\n

1. Starting solids<\/h2>\n

Typical timeline:<\/strong> Six months old<\/p>\n

Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Paediatric Society recommend introducing solids to infants at around six months old, says Julia Celestini, a paediatric dietitian in Burlington, Ont. \u201cIt\u2019s then that infants tend to be physiologically and developmentally ready for new foods, textures and methods of feeding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giving baby a first taste of food can be an exciting and anxious moment\u2014and it\u2019s normal to want the experience to go perfectly as planned. But before you start, look for a handful of developmental signs<\/strong> that they\u2019re truly ready. For example, babies need to have the neck strength to hold their heads up and move them from side to side, and to open their mouths when food is offered. They should also be able to sit up on their own with limited support (as they will have to in a high chair) and be able to lean forward.<\/p>\n

Look for manual dexterity, too. If they can pick up their soother and put it into their mouth (or try to), for example, they\u2019re probably going to be able to deal with small pieces of cereal or a spoon. And if they\u2019re watching you eat with interest and excitement\u2014and even reaching for your plate\u2014then food is on their radar.<\/p>\n

Not every infant who shows interest in eating solids is physiologically ready, though. For example, infants are born with a tongue-thrust reflex that helps them nurse and prevents them from choking. That reflex lessens over time but may still be a factor to consider when introducing solids<\/strong>. One way to see where your child is at with this reflex is to thin out a bit of baby cereal (use formula or breastmilk) and use a spoon to put a dab in your infant\u2019s mouth. If your baby\u2019s tongue pushes the food back out, they\u2019re still working on it, says Celestini. \u201cIf the reflex is present even after a few attempts, it might be best to wait a week or two before trying again,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

2. Potty training<\/h2>\n

Typical timeline:<\/strong> 18 months to four years old<\/p>\n

I started potty training my son when he was around two and a half, mostly because I thought he was at the age when I ought to do it\u2014which, in retrospect, may not have been the best approach<\/strong>, according to the experts.<\/p>\n

Most kids become ready to start potty training anywhere between the ages of 18 months and four years of age, says Smile. The majority of kids are ready when they are two or three, but it\u2019s not unusual to need to wait until age four. \u201cThere is a lot of cultural variability in the timing of potty training,\u201d says Smile.<\/p>\n

The most important thing to remember is that you really shouldn\u2019t start the transition out of diapers at a predetermined age that you have decided is appropriate. The impetus for training shouldn\u2019t be what you think your kid should be doing, or what their peers are doing; rather, it should be based on their developmental readiness.<\/p>\n

Some indicators your kid is on the potty-training track: They can keep their diaper dry for at least two hours and are able to tell you that they have to go (or are going) to the bathroom. If they complain when their diaper is wet\u2014or pull it off because they don\u2019t like the way it feels\u2014that\u2019s a solid sign they\u2019ve developed good awareness of wet versus dry. If they can pull their pants up and down and sit unsupported on the potty, they\u2019ve got the necessary training prerequisites, too.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get hooked on one form of training if it\u2019s not working for your child, says Keely: \u201cIf there was only one that worked, there would only be one program.\u201d And don\u2019t be alarmed if it takes longer to master going Number Two<\/strong>. That\u2019s pretty typical. If your kid\u2019s poop tends to be on the hard side, consider a diet adjustment as you embark on toilet training. \u201cIt\u2019s helpful if the stools are soft so that bowel movements are not painful, because kids may be reluctant to go to the toilet and sit if they think it might hurt more,\u201d says Keely.<\/p>\n

3. Dropping the nap<\/h2>\n

Typical timeline:<\/strong> Two to four years old<\/p>\n

When my son was around three years old, he decided he was done with his afternoon nap. My attempts to tire him only tired me out, so I gave up putting him down after lunch.<\/p>\n

Sleep is one of those tricky issues because there\u2019s so much variance over a child\u2019s life (and from kid to kid), says Smile. But generally speaking, kids stop napping<\/strong> before school starts, between three and five years old.<\/p>\n

Exactly how a kid loses the nap is variable. My son just stopped falling asleep and audibly protested napping. Some parents may phase the nap out as part of prep for kindergarten, subbing in quiet time or restful periods instead.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how it goes down\u2014on their own steam or as part of a plan for school\u2014if your toddler is alert and active without the extra Zs, that\u2019s a good indication that they\u2019re fine without the rest. If they\u2019re irritable or seem tired, they may not be getting enough sleep over the course of a day, says Smile. In those cases, consider how much sleep they are getting at night. When my son stopped napping during the day, I dialled back his bedtime because he seemed tired earlier. This is a common story among parents (and it can be pretty exciting to get your evenings back!).<\/p>\n

4. Moving to a toddler bed<\/h2>\n

Typical timeline:<\/strong> Three years old and up<\/p>\n

Most kids will make the transition from a crib to a toddler bed<\/strong> around age three, says Lauren Heffernan, a paediatric sleep consultant based in Oakville, Ont. But there are exceptions.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Li*, a mother of one who lives in Hamilton, Ont., had to convert her two-year-old\u2019s crib into a bed when she started repeatedly crawling out at night. Li\u2019s daughter was tall for her age, too\u2014another factor that influenced the switch.<\/p>\n

If your kid is climbing out of the crib or getting too large for it, it\u2019s time to move. Heffernan often tells parents to put the mattress flat on the floor (or on the lowest setting) first.<\/p>\n

When immediate safety isn\u2019t a factor, you can gauge your child\u2019s readiness by talking to them about it. Li got her daughter excited by letting her choose her own blankets and sheets.<\/p>\n

And although you might be tempted to switch a kid out to make room for a new baby, that may not be the best idea, cautions Heffernan. \u201cI really never recommend making big transitions like this around the arrival of a new sibling. It might result in less sleep for the parents<\/strong> (if the child was happy and comfortable in their crib), and then they will get even less sleep when baby comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heffernan tells parents to think of the transition from crib to bed as a process. It\u2019s entirely normal for a kid to leave the bed repeatedly or call for you more often during this time. Parents can mitigate anxieties by encouraging kids to play in their new space. It doesn\u2019t hurt to lie down with your child for a bit either.<\/p>\n

Li and her husband dealt with the change by letting their daughter go back and forth between her bed and theirs until she stopped on her own. Now at age four and a half, she\u2019s choosing to sleep independently. \u201cSometimes she\u2019ll call for me,\u201d says Li, \u201cbut I just do a check-in now.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Attending a drop-off playdate<\/h2>\n

Typical timeline:<\/strong> Four to six years old<\/p>\n

Sharon MacDonell*, a Toronto-based mother of twin boys, used kindergarten as the developmental measurement for when it would be fine to drop them off at a friend\u2019s house for a playdate. \u201cI felt like if they could be in school all day without me, they would be OK on a short playdate without me, too,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She remembers feeling a slight thrill as she dropped them off, because it meant she didn\u2019t have to stick around and engage in small talk with parents she wasn\u2019t close friends with. She didn\u2019t leave the kids with strangers, though\u2014these were parents of classmates whom she had met before.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s no set age at which a drop-off playdate is ideal, there are some developmental skills to look for that suggest your kid is going to be fine with it. If your child is playing with another child interactively\u2014rather than still choosing parallel play<\/strong> or simply observing other kids playing\u2014that\u2019s a clue they\u2019ll be good on their own. You can also try to determine if your little one has the verbal skills to tell an adult that they\u2019re upset or distressed; this suggests they\u2019ve got the skills that make a drop-off playdate more success than disaster.<\/p>\n

If they\u2019re asking you to arrange a playdate for them at their friend\u2019s house (rather than at yours), that\u2019s an indication they\u2019re game for a solo outing, too. Though in this case, Smile says it\u2019s not just about how a kid feels. It\u2019s important parents feel comfortable with the environment as well, she says.<\/p>\n

Kids usually start to acquire these developmental skills between the ages of three and four. But that doesn\u2019t mean all kids this age will be ready to go solo. Try never to force a child on a playdate, and understand that even kids who are content to go to their grandma\u2019s house on their own may not be happy to be dropped off at a schoolmate\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it\u2019s important to prepare them for the experience. \u201cIt\u2019s natural for a kid to become upset if they\u2019re being left in a strange environment by a parent, the person they feel most comfortable around.\u201d In these cases, Smile advocates some advance planning<\/strong>. \u201cDo a drive-by of the place; tell a story about what they\u2019ll do. We have to prepare our kids to be ready for things that are new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milestones are the highlight reel of parenting. But they don\u2019t happen on a set schedule. Best not to rush the end of diapers or apply rigid ideas about when and how development happens. Instead, look for the smaller but no less significant signs that your child is growing and changing right in front of you. In their own small way, they\u2019re can\u2019t-miss occasions, too.<\/p>\n
