[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I trained both my boys before age 2. About 20-21 months.

We used o crap but your daughter might be a bit old for that method. That method is intended for 20-30 months of age. Girls are often trained at 18-24 months and many people wait later for boys.

The closer you get to age 3 the harder it gets. You want to train when they are still in the pleasing stage. 3 is notoriously hard. [/quote]

3 is mostly hard if you powerstruggled earlier and failed.  If you wait till 3 it’s usually a breeze.  [/quote]

Or you could wait til middle school and tell them you're going to take their phone away if they don't use the toilet. [/quote]

Except the vast majority of kids are trained before they start school, and training at 3 has no long term impact on a kid's life. Kids who aren't trained by the time school starts usually have other issues.

I honestly feel bad for people who think potty training 6-12 months earlier than other kids is some parenting badge of honor. Seriously, who cares?[/quote]
