I have worked with many children, many who are in this period of development. What I have noticed is that there is a period that is generally the norm for children to learn this practice, but there is a ton of variability as to when each child is ready. Take your time, and lavish lots of love onto this learning experience. Making connects between objects in the bathroom, creating songs, naming it something fun, in basic terms naming body sensations that can act as triggers for children to know when they have to go can all help speed the process. With that said, again, each learned and grows at their own pace and try to match expectations based on what they are capable of understanding/doing.

I have a step-daughter (but I treat her like she is mine). I came into her life when she had just turned 3 years old. In my house, kids were potty trained almost as soon as they were walking. It was usually done in 1 or 2 days and that was it. It embarrassed me to take a 3 year old places still in diapers. So I told my man, things had to change. His ex-wife doesn't do anything to help. When she is at her mom's house, she stays in diapers, so potty training has been hell. She is now 4 years old and doing a little better. She still wears them at night and on trips (not by my doing either). She won't have accidents at home if we remind her every hour to go potty.

This is an old post, I wonder how it worked out for OP?

With my daughter, I did 3-day potty training. 3 days, no pants. First 2 days, no panties either. We did the potty dance and an M&M when she succeeded. Day 3, introduce panties. I would've like one more day at home to introduce pants, too but she had to go to daycare. But she did really well.

I don't have any kids...yet.
