Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maturation refers to the process of natural development of physical and mental abilities. Successful toilet training requires certain physiological and cognitive maturity, which most children achieve after 24 months of age, hence why it is difficult prior to that age. Adaptation and learning may be factors that contribute to toilet training success, but they do not fully explain why it is difficult before 24 months of age. Critical period refers to a specific time frame during which certain experiences must occur for proper development, but this does not apply to toilet training.
