Reply from Randy, Child's Age n - 7/22/02 - IP#: 66.81.77.193A soon as he or she is physically capable of handling it without you. If there are no physical or mental handicaps which prevent the coordination required to accomplish the task, this is probably around age 4 or 5 for pullups, 6 for tape-on diaposables, and 7 for pin-on cloth. Children are often a lot more capable than we give them credit for. If you will instruct them in how to do it, then stand back, you will grant them a new level of independence, allowing them to grow emotionally. By continuing to do it for them, you may inhibit that growth. |
