[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ so at 3 years old, the saint we had for a preschool teacher taught them. Twins. Ouch.[/quote]
Our daycare potty-trains and has been doing it since he was 14 months.  And still nothing.  They tell me he's ready and I concur.  When it happens, it happens. [/quote]

It happens when you get rid of the diapers.  That's the problem, while the kids are still wearing diapers unless they are MUCH older they WILL NOT potty train.  Get rid of the diapers and take a weekend off and your kid will be trained.[/quote]

So happy that worked for you, but for others it HAS NOT worked. It was a tramatic experience for all involved. Maybe some endure the continuing stress and mess to prove they are tough or boss or whatever. Gold star for them, but others chose to listen to their kid who is clearly telling them they are not ready. [/quote]

If you try before 2 and when the kid is showing physical signs (able to hold pee for a couple of hours or more) then it WILL work.  If you leave it later you may have a problem.  However, you still need to make sure that the child goes to the potty every couple of hours.  That means regardless of whether they tell you they need to go, you take them, pull their pants down and put them on.  After TWO days they WILL pee when put on the potty (IF you start early enough).[/quote]
My son has been sitting on the potty every 1.5 hrs since 14 months old and while he sits on it happily, he still does nothing, and he's almost 3. That's quite a bit longer than two days. No, TWO days. I know it must be terribly difficult to believe that other children are different from yours, but do try. [/quote]
