Question

Accepted Answer

potty training and toilet training should be initiated as soon as the child completes one and half years of age. avoid before that except if you feel that the child is giving cues when he or she wants to pass stool. 
also good demonstration has to be given again and again to the child to reinforce the habit.
make the child sit on potty seat daily so that the child gets accustomed and not fearful of the seat and situation
kindly go through various articles on potty training on firstcry.

please be patient as after starting training it may take 6 months also for the child to learn.
You need to give plenty of water and fibre diet to the child and your child appears to be suffering from constipation.
