[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]

I don't think that is solid professional advice. He/She should have just told you that all children are different, and that becoming toilet trained is developmental--it cannot be forced, follow your kid's individual cue as for their readiness.  Ignoring a two-year-old's signs that he he is ready to be trained can actually make the whole process harder in the end.  [/quote]

solid or not, it's pretty accurate in my case. Started with my son at age 2. That was a long rough year of him not being interested, not being ready, fighting it every step of the way. Three years four months he got it, no looking back, hardly any accidents, no problem.  I wish I would not have put myself through that frustration ,however, with my daughter I feel like she's just about ready now (at 19 months) and she will likely be trained at two. So, not doing anything when the kid is ready and wants to be trained is just silly.  However, I doubt you know the whole story.  [/quote]
