Most parents can’t wait until their kids are out of diapers. You say that’s a mistake. Why?
There are a lot of pressures on parents today, which are adding to the competitive feelings of toilet training being a marker of their child’s success… Let the child be the leader.
What should parents do?
Watch for signs of readiness: They’re ready to sit down. They’re imitative. They put things where they belong. They have receptive speech.
It sounds great to let kids take their time, but what should parents do about preschool and ballet teachers who won’t take kids in diapers?
Fight ’em. It’s completely insensitive to the individuality of the child.
What’s your vote on Pull-Ups?
Try them. If they don’t work, go back to diapers.
You’re a father of four. When did you potty-train your kids?
My children hate for me to talk about them!
