I hear this question asked so often by parents! The following article by Gary Ezzo and Anne Marie Ezzo provides provides some useful indicators and points to consider on the subject.
Parenting with Gary & Anne Marie: Toddlers
Potty Training Readiness
Potty Training Readiness Daytime vs. nighttime bladder readiness
It would be great if a child turned 2 years old, and through a peculiarity of nature, trained herself. But that oddity is not found in the natural course of life, and potty training is not an exact science with specific biological indicators popping out as to signal readiness like a Thanksgiving Day turkey. The best estimates of readiness anyone can provide are general age ranges. Potty training readiness falls into a general 6/16 normative sequence. Sometime between 22 and 28 months (a 6-month period), most children achieve daytime bladder readiness. Sometime between 24 and 40 months (a 16-month period) most children reach nighttime bladder readiness.
