[quote=Anonymous]It's the parents. They give the kid the option. There is your answer. Apologies to the late trainers who have been blaming their children. And I don't mean that people who don't give the option to wear diapers past 2 are punishing. It just is not an option, and the parents act confident that the kids can do it. Barring SN, the child can by 2.5 at the latest. If the parent acts doubtful, wishy washy, begs, pleads, but ultimately gives in, the kid will not do it until he decides to, long after winning the power battle. Don't flinch--even when you want to. I realized my mistake later with the night training--I trained my kids before 2 but let the night training go on and on after that because they were young to start with and then it just seemed impossible. I should have just told them they could do it and taken away the pull-ups and not let that go on for 2 more years. Big mistake, and in retrospect, I realize it was me, and not them. [/quote]
