I was very lucky with my kids. My daughter was trained by 1 year & my son took just a little longer. I worked with them alot too. You have to & it has to be consistant. Not do it one day & get discouraged & not try again for another day or two.
Another reason I think maybe we tried to potty train a little earlier...... we had to wash diapers & hang them out not buy them! LOL
There is no right way or wrong way because everyones lives are different. Just do your best & everything will be ok!
