In my home daycare I require parents to start training at home over a long weekend or vacation before I will start here. The child comes in pull ups and stays in pull ups until they are accident free for two whole weeks. We go at regular intervals but I also need the child to initiate pottying by telling me if they have to go in between times. So the child has to be old enough to verbalize, dextrous enough to pull up and down pants, and be dry 2 weeks before undies happen here.

I have done this with my own four children too. With nine kids in the house I cannot afford to have training children pee on carpets or furniture. My couch has never been peed on and I am proud of that. LoL.
