Hydrocortisone is a steroid medication that treats inflammation in the body. The drug comes in an oral form to take by mouth, and a topical form to apply to the skin.
Some kids ask to be left alone as early as 5 or 6; others enjoy having your company until they start approaching puberty, closer to 9 or 10.

Many children who are trained under the age of two will stop being sucessful and need to be re-trained at some point in the future. Between 18 and 24 months of age most children will begin to have an interest in what goes on in the bathroom. This is a great time to invest in a potty chair and start talking about what happens in the bathroom with the terms that are comfortable for your family.
