[quote=Anonymous]I only have one child so far. We trained easily just around 2 years old. I can honestly say that for us, had we waited to train until 3 years old, things would not have gone well, because he wasn't as interested in sitting still for stories (which we used to keep him on the potty) and had much firmer opinions about everything. Of course, I'm not assuming what was the case for my child might have been the same for someone else's, but I do wonder if the folks saying their kids were not ready at 3 had given it a try at 2. Some of you are saying "LOL" etc, but our child was completely physically capable of it by that time, and it was just a much easier time for us; he wanted to be near us anyway and not AS into being off playing, etc. Of course, on the other hand, I know some people who trained before 2, and my child was literally terrified of the potty at that time, so I am not assuming that every kid can do it by 2. But, mine did!

BTW, I'm the PP whose child is an anxious kid about many things. So yes, he was anxious about the potty at first, so we backed off, gave it some time, and tried again a month or so later, and it worked well.

NOT a judgmental post, but just a thought that you might be surprised by how much EASIER it is to do it early, before the kid gets set in his / her ways about the potty and her opinions on it.
