That is where it gets really vague. Every kid is different. Some are ready early and some are ready late. When the kid can pull their pants up and down is a good clue because they certainly aren't going to go by themselves if they can't. One piece of advice is to begin when they start sleeping through the night and have a dry diaper. Again, every kid is different and this may not be an indicater for all. It's also been an assumption that girls train quicker than boys. I think birth order may have implications also. The second kid watches the first and gets the hang of it quicker.

You also have the two-year-olds who regress because they miss being treated as a baby. It's very frustrating when you know the child could be potty-trained if only they didn't have psychological issues.

Geez that would have hurt me at one time I had 3 in diapers and one of them was in them until the age of 6....a long story.
