[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just waited a long time to do it, according to DCUM, but it was an easy process all three times.  Kids trained at 3.5, 3.25, and 2.5.  All boys.

When they are ready it is easy.  When they are not ready, it is hell. [/quote]

3.5 is really old to still be in diapers.  DD is completely resistant to potty training and is 3 and three months and the only one in her class still in pull-ups and has been for months.  They won’t move her up until she’s in underwear.   [/quote]

We are in the same boat with our DD and while it is very frustrating, I increasingly think it is much more typical than a lot of people will lead you to believe. I think some kids are genuinely just not ready until later, and then it gets made worse because there is pressure to train and it gets more intense the older they get, and the pressure only makes them more resistant. It sucks.

Also, the 3yos at her PK this year were only about half potty trained enough to be in underwear. Everyone else wore pull ups. At times I wished she was the only one in pull ups because I think it would have incentived her to get out of the pull ups. She was one of the older 3yos but when they are all in the same class that doesn't mean anything to them. We're hoping she makes progress this summer but you know, if I have to send my 4yo to school in pull ups, that's what I have to do. I have learned that the timeline is not under my control.[/quote]
