Human: How do I know when my child is ready to go to the potty? Assistant: 
When your child has reached a certain age and can communicate their need for the bathroom, you should start asking them if they have to go. You can also look for signs such as wetting themselves or having accidents in their pants. If your child seems hesitant to tell you when they need to use the restroom, you can try offering incentives like stickers or special treats for telling you when they need to go.
