[quote=Anonymous]I too am not sure why you care, other than to judge. I am the parent of two boys. My older son was trained right at three, as were the majority of his peers. A few of the girls were trained around 2 1/2.

My second son just turned two. I suppose if I were to stay home and kill both of us mentally in order to win some kind of contest, I could probably train him. But the bottom line is it will be much easier in a year or so, when he understands the process better.

In a way it IS the devotion to the process of the parent or the child care provider. That said, I do think around three is the easiest time for a child mentally.  The people I know who waited longer ran into issues when they tried initially and didn't want to make it into a huge battle. Some might define that as laziness, and I admit I questioned a friend whose 3 1/2 year-old neurotypical son was home with the nanny all day and still was not trained.

That said, you are not going to get an answer that satisfies you here. You should probably start elimination communication now with your infant, so you can be sure you won't be in the situation. Because, you know, it's really easy to control.[/quote]
