[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid sat on a toilet for 18 months before they peed even once? Seems uneffective. 3 is the late side of normal for training. I dont think those 18 months of sitting on a toilet helped you![/quote]

He trained before he turned three so somewhat typical I’d say.  Not early but not late.  Anyway it wasn’t even intentional- I was just in the habit of sitting him there, probably bc he was unclothed and with water running and I didn’t want him to get an urge and pee on the floor.  And then one day he just…went.  It just seemed so much easier than the other ways out there. I’m just curious why it is not more conventional wisdom to just stick your kid on the toilet starting at a young age to familiarize them with it.  Anyway, just sharing in case someone has a young toddler.  Worked for us and we never had to do oh crap or buy a mini toilet etc. [/quote]

Sure, but it was also a year more of diapers which for me, I was ready to be done with! But not everyone is. So this might work for some. A lot of more wiggly kids would not just sit on the toilet like that for more than a few seconds though. I think your perception of how difficult the other methods are is maybe a little different than what it actually is. It's all in your personality and what works for you. I have one friend that the slower, a little at a time, getting on the potty each day for a very long period worked super well! Some people like to just make the transition and be done, which is fine too and only difficult if that doesn't meld with your personality.[/quote]
