Researchers say after their second birthday a mother should consider training the child. However, every child is different, and some don't understand nor comprehend such behavior. I have two boys, 5 and 3 years of age. I started my first child's potty training when he was 18 months old, he caught on to it the fist week. Now with my 3 year old, I tried the same thing when he turned 18 months. I introduced him to such behavior, unfortunately he didn't understand what I was trying to impliment. I have tried every method, after meals, before bed, right after he wakes up, and right before we'd go out, but there were never any results. he would
advise me that he'd have to use the bathroom, but he wouldn't take the initiative to go on his own. Fortunately, he communicates with what he likes and what we wants, but i guess independibility will come to him when it's time.
I am kind of going through the same thing with my daugther, but she is two and she will be three in January. My son was easy to potty train but with her she has a lot of accidents. I just don't know what to do, she sometimes does it on purpose and I get so upset and I know she understands. I think it will come to her one of these days that she isn't suppose to use it on herself. I also believe that they will come around when they are ready.
