[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My training in pediatrics says averages are 50% of toddlers are trained by 36 months of age. Standard advice is not to start till after 28 months of age. [/quote]

+1, fully half of all kids train after turning 3. And the percent of kids not trained by kindergarten is quite small. So those 3 year olds are successful.

It's parental preference and yes, you can absolutely do harm by training too early.[/quote]

20 months isn’t too early.  It’s been done for centuries.  You’re just silly.  [/quote]

For centuries people didn't have modern plumbing or underwear. Kids ran around naked and learned to go behind a tree. People had lower standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Learning to use a modern toilet is a totally different deal and it actually makes sense that most kids take a bit longer because going to the bathroom sitting down is a weird modern convenience that we force on them, which is why doing so very early is entirely about parental preference and can cause issues. Toilet put kids in an unnatural position to eliminate.[/quote]

You really are twisting yourself into knots because you're ashamed you waited until 3.5 years old to potty train.[/quote]

You want a cookie? I bet you tag about how much smarter your kid is than everyone other kid on this planet. [/quote]

Yes, please.  I love having my two year old able to use the big toilet by himself but I’ll definitely take the cookie too!  [/quote]
