My child isn't potty trained yet — should I be worried?
There is no single right age for potty training — many children are reliably dry by day between 2½ and 4 years, and readiness matters far more than a fixed date. Timing alone rarely needs worry; book a gentle check if there's no progress past 4 years, wider developmental concerns, sudden lasting regression, or signs of pain or constipation. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Most children are potty trained at their own pace, often past age 2 or 3, and a wide range is normal. Stay calm and unpressured, build a gentle routine, and follow your child's readiness signs. Seek a developmental check if delay continues past 3.5–4 years, comes with constipation or distress, or sits alongside other developmental differences.
