[quote=Anonymous]On the one hand, I agree that potty training is not a competition, and that you cannot force a child to potty train. On the other hand, my expectation for my child was that he would be potty trained before 3. I didn't want to change diapers of an older child, unless the child had special needs that prevented training, or some difficult life event interfered with training. I never yelled at him or punished him for having accidents, but I did repeatedly make it very clear what I expected from him, the same way that you would make it clear that you expected a child not to throw sand, push etc. At the end of the day, DS is obviously smarter than me, because he said that he felt that he could definitely potty train, but needed bigger toys, not just M&M's and stickers.[/quote]
