The results of the study found that there was a significant difference between parents' knowledge of children's toilet training and there was a significant difference between toilet training on the adaptive behaviour developments of preschool children. The results of this study explained the effect of toilet training on the development of adaptive behaviour of preschool children as well as differences in the level of knowledge of parents about toilet training on children's toilet training practices. This study adds to the theoretical findings on the influence of parental behaviour on child development in describing in detail and better about the level of parental knowledge of toilet training and the development of adaptive behaviour of children.
