[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the child in question is a boy, they are notoriously harder to train so you shouldn't compare them to similar aged girls.[/quote]

Op here - she's a girl I knew they were supposed to be easier which made this tougher. Boys in the group are trained before her. I know it is not a race but now she is the last I am worrying[/quote]

Some kids have difficult personalities and that makes training harder. It's not a parenting failure and you have to try to tune out all the judgement from parents of early potty trainers. People who have multiple kids with wildly different personalities will tell you it depends more on the child than the method or parental commitment. Hang in there.[/quote]

This. My DD was way harder to train than my DS. She has a super inquisitive, stubborn, analytical personality, he's easy going. These days, it's actually easier to teach her stuff because I can give her a book on the subject and just discuss it with her later. With my son, he'll just power through and needs a lot more hands on instruction and help.

All I can say is that thank god you only have to potty train them once! And then when it's over you never have to think about it again, frankly.[/quote]
