If you don't potty train your child the child will eventually learn to use the toilet once they get older and see you and others going to the toilet.
My sister gave up on potty training her kid when he was 3 years old and could not get him to use the toilet.
He finally potty trained once he was 8 years old and decided he no longer wanted to wear diapers.
So kids really do not need potty training and they will eventually get it and some eventually potty train by 4 and some by 5 years old or even 6 or 7 without potty training them.
Boys are harder to potty train than girls.
Girls usually potty train at least a year or 2 earlier than most boys will potty train.
However sometimes a boy may potty train sooner than a girl as it depends on the child.
The average boy is potty trained around 2 and 1/2 years to 3 years of age.
However some boys may take longer to potty train and not be ready to potty train until near their 4th birthday.
Some boys may also potty train as early as 18 months as every kid is different.
Boys are typically harder to potty train than girls.
If the kid is not potty trained by 4 and 1/2 then you will need to start forcing the issue as kids cannot go to Kindergarten wearing diapers and not potty trained.
The average age for potty training kids is between 18 months to 2 years of age.
That is for most kids who are ready to potty train at those ages.
Some kids are ready to potty train and get out of diapers as early as age 18 months and are fully potty trained by 2 years old.
The child may still need to wear diapers at night for bed wetting but they should be able to go all day without a diaper.
Some kids may not potty train and be out of diapers until age 3 years old to as late as 4 years old.
A kid will eventually potty train when they are ready.
It's normal for a kid to need to wear diapers for bed wetting from age 3 to as late as age 8 years old and even older.
Some kids will continue to wet the bed for quite awhile and it's normal and some kids may wet the bed until age 17 or 18 years old and some people wet the bed all their lives and that is also normal.
Forcing potty training too early can be harmful to the child's health because they may try to hold in their poop or pee and that can lead to kidney and bowel issues.
There's really not a set age when a kid should begin potty training or for them to be potty trained.
A kid should wear diapers until they are ready to use the toilet.
Some kids are ready to potty train by 18 months while some are not ready to potty train until 3 years to 4 years old and in some cases some kids may not be ready to potty train until 5 years old.
