Final answer:

The best response would be to assure the mother that it is normal for a 2-year-old girl to not be potty trained yet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best response from the friend would be to assure the mother that it is normal for a 2-year-old girl to not be potty trained yet.

According to the normative approach, most children are toilet trained by the age of 4. However, the age at which children start potty training can vary.

It is important for the mother not to rush the potty training process and to wait until her daughter shows signs of readiness, such as showing interest in the potty or being able to communicate when she needs to use the bathroom.

Explanation:

There is much sign when a child is ready for toilet training :

  • When a kid starts walking and practices to sit for a while
  • When a kid is independent and able to say no more often and generally completing the task
  • When kids start taking interest in watching others going to the toilet, it is a little bit difficult but a good sign to understand things well.
  • When a kind passed two hours with a dry nappy that means he/she can control their wee in the bladder.
  • When a kid starts to speak words or through body language inform you about the nappy.
  • When a kid starts to hate to wear a nappy, the sign would be like to train in the toilet.
