Question

How common is it for 6 year olds to wear diapers?

Answer 1

It's not very common at all for 6 year olds to wear diapers unless they have a need for them.

It's more common for 6 year olds to wear diapers for bed wetting and health issues than it is for them not being potty trained.

I've known a few 6 year olds that were not potty trained but it's not very common.

Unless the 6 year old has autism, health issues, incontinence, etc then it's not very common at all for 6 year olds to wear diapers in the daytime.

Most 6 year olds are potty trained and no longer wear or need to wear diapers in the daytime.

However at night that's a different story as some 6 year olds wet the bed and need a diaper to keep them dry.

Bed Wetting is perfectly normal and they will grow out of it.

It's pretty common for 4 year olds to wear diapers and not be potty trained but it's not as common as it is for 3 year olds and 2 year olds to wear diapers.

Some 4 year olds are not potty trained and then a few months later get concept of potty training and decide to use the toilet.

However most 4 year olds are potty trained but it's okay if they are not.

Also some 4 year olds may need to wear diapers for health issues such as bed wetting,  incontinence, bowel issues, autism etc.

It is very common and normal for 3 year olds to wear diapers.

A lot of 3 year olds wear diapers and are not potty trained and even pediatricians say not to worry about the child being in diapers during the day until they are at least 4 years old.

It's also very common for 2 year olds to wear diapers.

Although some 2 year olds can be potty trained some 2 year olds are not ready to be potty trained.

In reality kids don't really need potty training as they will eventually get it when they are ready.

If a child is ready to potty train they will potty train within a few days to a week at most.

Even if you were to start the process of potty training a child by 2 years old they may not be completely potty trained until they are 3 years old to 3 years and 6 months.

So in reality if you waited until the child was at least 3 years old or a bit older then the child would potty train much easier.

A child should wear diapers as long as they need too and there's no set age that a child has to be potty trained by.

Some kids potty train earlier and some kids potty train later.

It's much easier and better to just keep the child in diapers until at least 3 years old or even 4 years old and then change their diaper and not worry about them peeing their pants and having to clean that up.

Answer 2

It is very common for 6 year olds to wear diapers now.

I have a 6 year old brother who is not potty trained and I'm so happy for him.

I was potty trained by age 3 and I wish I had never took to using the toilet.

My 6 year old brother is still in diapers full time and doesn't want to potty train and use the toilet.

I don't blame him as diapers are very comfy.

My 6 year old brother wears size 7 Gentle Steps diapers and he loves them and runs around the house wearing just a diaper.

He and myself are home schooled so it's no issue with wearing diapers.

I wear diapers around the house too.

This boy is not my brother or me but this boy looks just like my brother and I swear this could be my brothers twin.

This is how my brother runs around the house and even our yard with no shame in the summertime.

Right now he's wearing just his diaper as well and he's very happy to be wearing diapers.
