Too Young to Potty Train?

At what point is a child too young to potty train? This is a common question, especially for first time moms. Now, I have my own views on it, which I'm finding people look down upon. As a family effort we started potty training my step daughter back in February. Now there is a reason for it even though she was only 16 months old. People say this is too young and she won't understand. Now, this child doesn't like wet/dirty diapers. She takes them off if she goes in them or she knows she is going to wet them. I don't believe that if they are taking their diaper off for this reason that you should tape a diaper on or put them in certain clothes to prevent taking it off. Show them the potty and start sitting them on it. No, they aren't going to get the WHOLE concept, BUT it's going to start the association. Potty training is going slow. I didn't expect it to happen over night. But we are starting to use the potty more often and it's exciting! Follow the child's lead. Everyone has or develops their own method. If it works, stick to it. If it doesn't, consult with other parents and see what they have done. Every child is different. Not every child uses the potty at 18 months. Some take much longer. My nephew was almost 4 before he was completely potty trained. Just remember not to make it stressful on you or your child.
