    YOU'VE MISSED THE BOAT...SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN POTTY TRAINED BY NOW, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED HER UP FOR PRESCHOOL, FORGET ABOUT IT....SHE'S DESTINED TO BE A DEPENDS WEARING WALMART DOOR GREETER......

    As far as potty training goes- it all depends on the child. Usually between 2-3. For preschool in my area we start at age 3 and have 2 years of it before kindergarten. HTH!

    When my daughter was about 18 months she was telling us that she was pooping in her diaper.  The Pedi said we could try putting out a training toilet and see if she shows interest but definitely don't push her.  She showed interest in just sitting on the toilet so we would give her an M&M just for sitting on it because we didn't want her  to be afraid of the toilet.  Once she was closer to two, we upped the ante and gave her stickers and a cookie everytime she pooped/peed in  the  toilet.  She has pooped about 15 times and peed about twice.  We are glad she is making progress but we also know it could take another year or more for her to be trained.

    Potty training: typically 18 months - 3.5 years.  Watch for signs of readiness and jump on that bandwagon when you see it.

    Preschool: different here as JK begins the year a child turns four, so for kids that attend preschool, they are usually 3 years old.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
