[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB.  Our pediatrician told me I could start potty training at 2 and be done at 3 years and 3 months or I could start at 3 and be done at 3 years and 3 months.  So, if you knew us, you too would be judging us based on our decision about when to potty train our child.  Ours isn't suffering any ill effects and potty training was a breeze.[/quote].

Total agree. You can try to force potty training as much as you want, but it won't happen til the kid is ready. And, not a minute before. DC also became ready at 3 years and 3 mo. [/quote]

So why until the 1960s were 90% of kids trained before they turned two? In some parts of the world the kids are still trained before two?

What do you think explains this? [/quote]

I would say a good 70% are now (maybe 80%).  And I would say a good 70-80% were then.  The difference was how much the 20-30% were shamed for it by their parents in the 60s because it was seen as abnormal.  Let's not return to those days.  It IS developmentally normal to train in your threes though most are done before.[/quote]
