Potty training

Well personally sitting a small baby on a potty seems to me like a waste of time, im not cristicising those who do it its simply my opinion. I prefer to wait until my children are ready, for my eldest that was just over 2 and half, she wasnt traumatised but because she was old enough to recognise when she wanted to go and voice this fact we found it really easy and she was dry day and night from that first day. My youngest has only just turned 2 4 weeks ago she isnt ready and I wont rush it, every child is different some children are ready at 18 months some not until they are 3 even 4 years old.

I always think its best to wait until the child knows what they are doing but getting them used to a potty at any age definatley wont hurt just not for me really. Having cared for many children as my work ive seen children toilet train at all different ages there is no right age for all children collectively maybe just an "average age" but there is a right age for each individual and I think as long as the child and parent are happy then the right age will happen in time where they can toilet train with ease and a smile.

My oldest daughter was almost potty trained at 13 months. Then when I had her little sister when she was only 15 months she back tracked. So, she was potty trained at 3. Now my youngest daughter will be 3 in 2 weeks and is still petrified of the potty. I've tried everything. She freaks out and everything. I will be buying her gerber undies for her birthday so hopfully that works out pretty good.
