[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]

Lazy parenting and a ridiculous fear of hurting self-esteem. Unless your child has special needs, there is absolutely no excuse for an untrained three year old. Our preschool wouldn't even let you enroll. Children had to be fully potty trained to attend the three year old program.

All five of mine were completely potty trained - very rare accidents and dry all night, able to go potty with very little assistance - well before three. My sister had all three of her boys completely trained by 20 months.

Nothing at all special or advanced about my kids. And it didn't take months to get them trained. Maybe a month of consistent training. [/quote]
