[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid ditched it herself at 4 months. If it had helped her sleep I would have let her keep it forever.

I do think not potty training by 3 is a bit ridiculous, though. I don’t agree with the idea that there’s any benefit in waiting until a kid indicates they are ready. Mine was not interested but trained easily in 1 day at 2.5. We don’t wait for them to be “ready” to wear a car seat or go to preschool or brush their teeth. Seems arbitrary to allow a toddler to dictate the terms on this one important life skill that has a big impact on mom’s quality of life.[/quote]

Op her - we are doing the child led approach. We gently ask her if she's ready but won't force her yet. I am sure she'll be ready to be out of diapers soon and I want it to be a positive experience for her as well [/quote]

Why are you so sure she’ll be “ready” soon?

Why does parent-initiated have to mean negative experience?

My kid liked and was not traumatized by potty training. She got candy. There were no tears. Was your child traumatized by the introduction of solids?[/quote]
