My school district, starting this year, began including children down to age 3 for preschool. Prior, age 4 was the cutoff (by late September or October, can’t recall), and now it’s just a calendar year younger. Some of those three-year-olds are not potty trained. Prior to this year, it was mandatory that incoming students needed to be potty trained. I’d say three is the age where average kids begin potty training. My daughter started at two; my son was late three into four. Both went to preschool potty trained.
All this being said, I didn’t see ages specifically mentioned in the article. I’m curious if UK school districts are offering similar grants for younger kids. Because that’s what it was here in NJ: school got more money from the state to take younger kids.
Average 3 years when they start potty training? Over here preschool starts at two and a half and kids are generally expected to be potty trained (accidents do still happen of course).
I would say average age to be finished is before 4, so three. You can start whenever you like, but starting is sure as shit not finishing. My daughter was 2 and just slipped the switch. My son was more of a gradual change. Kids let you know what they’re ready for, and I’m not one to force things. I watch parents and kids pull their hair out forcing things because of X, Y, and Z, but I don’t see the point in stressing everyone out. And it all got done, everyone’s happy. I will stress them out in a few years, when they’re older.
