Choosing between a diaper or the toilet
When you are 4 years old, there are really very few things in life that you have sole control over. Parental control over just about everything is foremost. Some children are ready for more control over their own lives, and bladder and bowel control are one way to show they can be responsible.

Or do you as a concerned parent influence her decision by denying a plaid and floral combination, etc.?
