A nurse is teaching parents about signs of readiness for potty training in their toddler. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

A. Staying dry for extended periods and waking up dry are clear indicators that the child may be ready for potty training. B. Encouraging the child to sit on the potty, even without using it, helps familiarize them with the process, which is beneficial for readiness. C. Discipline for accidents can create anxiety and resistance toward potty training; it is important to approach the process positively. D. Waiting for signs of interest and the ability to follow simple instructions respects the child's developmental readiness, making the transition smoother. E. Starting potty training too early can lead to frustration for both the child and parents; readiness should be based on the child’s cues rather than age alone.
