[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody regretted waiting until later? The potty training book I read said if you don't get it done by 2.5, it's much, much harder. [/quote] We introduced the concept at 18 mos but never pushed it. We tried a naked weekend sometime early in the 2s and he wasn't getting it so we put diapers back on. Then, two months short of three, he announced he wanted to go poop. We took him to the potty and that was that. No more diapers and no accidents. Most of the friends we know who have struggled with PT have been the ones who've been most aggressive about it - as in, we're doing this NOW (whenever NOW was) and not backing off until you get it. We figured we would get DS familiar with the process, talk about it like a desirable milestone, but let him tell us when he was ready. It worked for us, but I'm sure part of that was just a lucky fit between our approach and DS's personality.[/quote]
