Oh my god, does it really take so long to even start potty training them that they're talking and reasoning and such before people do it? That's horrifying...

  Like most things related to humans it is about how physiologically they are developed. I tried potty training my daughter when she was 18 months, and she would have accidents and look down with a pile of poop on the ground and looked shocked. She couldn't understand what just happened. We tried again at two years old and it was like night and day. She was already running to the corner to go potty, so we understand she had developed physiologically enough that we could get her to hold it and go sit on the potty. Also, like anything, physiological development and physical development is not intrinsically linked. A child can walk and run, but they may not understand exactly what would happen if they run -into- something. Moral of the story? Having kids is hard, and nothing prepares you. Once you understand though, and think you're ready for the next one... You're still not prepared because they're all different.
