What it means to be fully potty trained:

Fully potty trained typically refers to a stage in a child's development where they can independently and consistently use the toilet for urination and bowel movements without any accidents or assistance from caregivers. This usually involves the child being able to recognize the need to use the toilet, communicate that need, undress themselves, use the toilet appropriately, wipe themselves, flush, and then wash their hands afterwards. Full potty training often signifies that a child has developed the physical, cognitive, and emotional skills necessary for toileting independence.
