[quote=Anonymous]Some kids have delays and it takes a long time. Some have fears and withhold. Some caregivers/parents aren’t firm enough or don’t go into it with a solid plan. Some wait too long thinking it will be easier when the child is older. I’d say half the time potty training issues are due to the kid and the other half due to parents. This is not a judgement or blanket statement, but as an anecdote I have three friends whose kids did not PT until 3-4 and had a horrible time getting there. Each of those kids also had bad sleep habits — never sleep trained, wake multiple times, and bed share. Generally they were catered to I think too much. Again just anecdotes of what I’ve seen in my circle of friends but in SOME cases the whole “baby tells us when baby wants to do anything” hands-free route can cause major problems. [/quote]
