- 1戒尿布、訓練上廁所。台灣爸媽口語多說「戒尿布」，較少直譯成「便盆訓練」。
To potty-train a child is to teach a very young child to use a little toilet — a potty — or the real toilet, so they can stop wearing . Parents often start around age two or three, but children do not all learn on the same clock. You potty-train the child; you do not potty-train the toilet. This is home language, the kind parents use with each other and in parenting books. Some people say toilet-train, which is the same work in slightly more grown-up clothes. Though actually, it is not one afternoon's lesson. Families say we are potty-training her for weeks of practice, accidents, praise, and trying again.
