So, it s really looking for the signs of readiness.
Some kids starts to show those signs as early as two years old, others not till about three and half or four which panics a lot of parents, but the idea is you can t really teach them early. You have to wait until they are ready to go and they recognize that sensation and can be able to talk with you about it.
