    That’s a really good question that I only recently realized was an issue. My son is 21 months old and just recently starting saying ‘Poo-poo’ when his diaper was dirty. So I got the potty chair out of storage and started teaching him to use it. When I mentioned it at work (proud that he was finally telling me his diaper was dirty) people were surprised that I was doing it at this age. They rattled off their 3, 4, and even 5-year old training experiences. I had no idea this could be a cultural thing, but one woman had to potty train her son to enroll him in Kindergarten. That baffles me. If they can say ‘Poo-Poo’ they can learn to head to the potty when they feel it coming on.
