Potty Training

Earlier this week I was in the career services office at TN Tech University speaking with a counselor. We got to talking about potty training and how the country (Sweden to be exact) his wife is from potty trains children much earlier than Americans do. Around the world and even in the United States the age of getting a child potty trained varies. The main focus should be getting the child potty trained not what age they are when it happens.

It really is up to each parent as to when they chose to work on potty training. Some choose to do it as soon as possible while others wait until it is absolutely necessary. Then of course you have the parents who are struggling with their children when there is a deadline for preschool approaching.

First, it is a matter of consistency. Second, can you stick to a schedule? Three are you willing to stick with one thing and one thing only? That is, are you willing to take the risk of eliminating diapers and going full speed ahead to underwear?
