Start by just calling them a "big girl" or a "big boy". Get a book written for potty training with illustrations. When you read it to him/her, personalize it with their name. If it's a girl, the mother should bring her into the bathroom and go, "when you're big enough, you can use the toilet like I do." If it's a boy, the father should be doing the illustrating.

If the child's in daycare the caretaker should be doing the same types of activities. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

I toilet trained my 20 month old granddaughter in a couple of weeks time. Then her father's probation ended and she went to live with him 5 months ago. She's no longer toilet trained because they'd rather change diapers than run constantly to the toilet with her.

Buy Pullups for your toddler. When you go to the bathroom take your baby in with you fathers for boys mothers for girls, this way the child sees what he/she is suppose to do, and talk to the child as you are using the toilet to explain to them this is what you want them to do like yourself. Every time you them the child wate, juice or something to drink start to time it, and take the child to the bathroom every 20 minutes, and sit the child on the toilet. Keeping a watchful eye out, and getting a good estimate of the childs urination will help you progress in the toilet training process. You will have to stay on top of the situation, and basically become familar with your childs bladder. Once the child uses the potty clap your hands, and praise the child because if the toddler knows this makes you happy, and will get praised,and rewarded for using the potty the toddler will eventually let you know verbally that they will have to go potty. It will take some time, it won't happen over night be patient, and work with it, stick with it, it will eventually happen. This technique has worked for me and I have potty trained 5 of my own, and 50 other children.

You can easily train a 1 1/2 year old. My niece got perfectly trained in this before she was 1 yr old. Even before she could speak, she would let us know with her grimaces and body language.

Using an Indian style toilet instead of the western type is best for the baby as well as everyone. Check this out to know why! http://www.naturesplatform.com/

Hold your baby near the toilet sink, let the baby squat on one of the foot rest with the back to the sink while you hold him/her with both arms. Do this within the 10 mins after baby wakes in the morning, that is when a normal human being gets the urge to go. Make it a practice and it will soon become perfect.

A child of 18 months is attached to his/her mother. So anything that is related to 'not having you' anywhere in sight is unacceptable to him/her. You could use this to your advantage. Child might also not like having trained for the sole trouble, ambiguity and inconvenience of the whole procedure. Keep your bathroom dry. Let the water tap, towel, soap etc be kept within child's reach. Explain child what's to be done and what's no to be done. Make things as clear and easier, as possible for your child.

The child is too young. When he/she is ready you will know. Let the child lead the way. Take him/her to the loo with you so they know what it is for.

Good Luck

A little young, no? I'm sure both of mine were over two before they were completely out of nappies.
