Great article. Kadi’s advice would be mine, too:

Stop obsessing over it. They will be ready when they are ready. No amount of classes, rewards, books etc…will force them to be ready.”

When they decide they are ready, they’ll do it. No point pushing it.

My favorite advice:

{3 days and $75}

When you feel like the kid is ready, all the signs mentioned above, and preferably a warm time of year…

Simply leave the kid naked for 3 days and be prepared to pay the $75 to get your couch cushions dry cleaned!!

I think they will do it when they are ready and interest. No matter how smart they are! They will let you know and understand in their own time. I tried with my son at 2 right after my daughter and he screamed so I stopped and asked out of know where when he was about 2.5 and we started out slowly and he was fully trained at around 3. We didn’t start out hardcore we took our time and he felt like he did it himself. I did push pooping in the potty a little only bc he was scared to sit down and I had to get him to sit and not get up. Not to be mean but to make him see it was really ok and it worked he was good after that. My daughter has been interested since two and is now off and on with potty training I let her go when she wants. Some days it’s all day, some days it’s only once but this summer I’m going to encourage more because she already wants too and try to do it more often but if she doesn’t want to then i will step back and wait and try again. The average kid is 3-3.5 being potty trained.

My advice is to not listen to anyone else. LOL You can take their advice but if they make you feel bad (*cough* like your MIL *cough*), don’t listen. My older son didn’t potty train until he was just over 3yo. He showed zero signs of readiness, I just tried and it worked. Stickers, suckers, M&Ms. He still won’t tell me he has to go (hence the accident this evening), but goes willingly. Granted, he wears a diaper at nap and a night diaper at bedtime, but I consider that really well for his age and developmental level.
