What's been cooking at Somebunny New

It is super common for a toddler, armed with newly found independence, to start challenging mom's suggestions and rather making his own voice heard...

Hate to break it to you, aggressive behaviour is a normal, healthy part of toddler (and human) development. Between language an communication skills letting them down when they need to communicate their fierce need for independence most and the ability to know what they want, but not know how they can get it - frustration and anger are sure to follow. Undeveloped impulse control means your little angel is going to act on those impulses, leaving friends, sibling or anyone within shooting range on the receiving side of some bites, scratches and bruises.

There's no magical age at which children should start to use the potty, but some develop the cognitive & physical skills to do so between 18 and 24 months of age.

It's really not a one-size-fits-all approach as many toddlers are ready to embark on this adventure by 2-2.5 years old while others show absolutely no interest until they are 3 or even 4 years old.
