Is my daughter ready to potty train?
Ok she's 14 months old. She hates her diapers and will take them off and throw them at us. If she pees or poops she wants to be changed imediatly. She walks and says wet. She can take off simple pants. She will sit on the potty for a few minutes, but nothing so far. Isn't she a bit young for this? Or is she one of these early starters?

The best sign to start potty training is before bath time with the water running, you say, "go pee" and she will. Another is waking with a dry diaper. My daughter knew the difference between a potty chair and the toilet and really wanted to use what adults and big kids use. She loves The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com/ I never pressured my children. I just set this stool at the toilet and said, "When you are ready to go potty on the toilet, you let me know." My kids were so interested in trying it and imitating big kids that there was never any problem. The handrails and sides gave my kids extra security and stability so they actually enjoyed using the toilet.
This is the safest stool I have found and it made potty training easy. Good luck.

Each baby is one of a kind. My daughter was once potty knowledgeable day and night time at 22months and it simplest took one million week. If she is telling you that she demands a wee/poo then sure you would check out her in a couple of knickers and spot how she will get on. The essential factor isn't to drive her and if she isn't capable its no tremendous deal, she continues to be very younger. I consider the normal age for potty coaching is toward 3yr than 2yr.

Children mimic behavior, so if she wants to sit on the potty let her, if she is concious of being wet, watch for a pattern and time of day and start letting her just sit, I think it may be to early to force potty training, but she may be ready, there is no set age as when to begin, that is why there is average ages when defining a childs activities. let her lead.

Children are never too young to start potty training. We are the only country in the world that thinks that we should let children decide when they are ready. I started my son at 5 months and he is now 1 and fully potty trained. Even sleeps in cotton undies. Potty train her.

no reason not to start! She is showing all of the ready signs 'they' say to look out for so there is no harm letting her sit on a toilet if she is happy to do it. I wouldn't push the training so if she gets cranky or upset with it let her be.

Yes!! As soon as she hates the diaper and even telling you that she hates to sit in it, it's time.

she's getting there. basically, around 2 years is a perfect time. just keep up with the potty thing, and praise her EVERY time she goes.
