Zone1 What Age Should Kids Be Potty Trained?

It seems, in general, that children are slower to grow up these days. I walked up to the school bus stop myself at age 6 and waited along with the “big kids”. Now I see groups of parents waiting with their 10-year-olds.

Same with “play.” We were already riding out bikes up to the drugstore - we took a dollar so we could get a burger and soda at the counter - by the time we were 8 or 9. We walked up to the public library (or biked) on our own.

Same thing with young adults. When I was looking at colleges, I took a train by myself up to the city involved, and then a taxi to the campus. Nowadays parents take their kids.

Nothing forcing them to grow up.

Unfortunately, great times make weak people
 
Our grandson wasn't potty trained until just before he went to kindergarten, we were being lazy and put it off till last minute. his younger sister is doing it at 3. We learned our lesson
A better question would be what age were YOU when you were unpotty trained?
 
I don't think that a newborn can use a toilet too well.

That is just what they /want/ you to think! Tell them you are keeping their cigars and brandy and they will shape up soon enough!

Just get the kid a toy they really want & leave it high on a shelf out of their reach.

Tell them...you can't have that toy...you're still in diapers. Nobody in diapers can play with THAT toy.

They'll be self-potty-trained by 4 months old!
