[quote=Anonymous]I quit reading after the first page or two because people have been overwhelmingly rude and borderline cruel to the OP.

She asked for help, and the MAJORITY of posts were almost all just people stating (unhelpfully) that “3 is too old!!” Etc, and some being downright mean.

To the OP,

I have three kids, two of whom are grown now. And guess what, they were ALL different, drastically so, in how they potty trained. And two were even twins!

Oldest basically trained himself, without any real pushing by us, a week before he turned 3. Didn’t require any rewards, or motivation of any sort.

His brother, however, was incredibly stubborn… and had us worrying that he’d be nearing kindergarten and still not yet be done with potty training. He had to go at his own pace, and was completely unbothered by his family/peers around him being in underwear. Didn’t motivate him at all.

Our daughter trained VERY early, and then regressed a year later, after an extended hospital stay, and then was in underwear 100% of the time a few months later.

That’s not even accounting for nighttime, one kid was still wearing diapers for bedtime up until his 7th birthday! (Nighttime dryness is not something they can be taught)

What I’m trying to get at here, is that EVERY kid is different. If a bunch of posters are loudly bemoaning that their kids trained when they were 1 year old or something…then great! That worked well for them.

If your kid isn’t ready yet, then guess what? That’s fine too! Seriously, they won’t go high school in diapers still, I assure you. Every kid gets it eventually.

Don’t stress! And don’t let the breathless naysayers get to you. Your daughter will be fine.
