Elimination communication with toddlers starts at a later stage: you help shift toilet association from nappy to potty with consistency, clear cues, and no force. It can still shorten the nappy years.
Begin with observation for a day, then offer at known windows. Explain simply — potty is where pee and poo go now.
Expect a re-learning stretch if nappies have been the only toilet. Patience beats pressure; celebrate tries as well as catches.
If catches dip during illness, travel, or leaps, see EC regression and returning to EC.
