I feel like a child ready to potty train picks up the skill within a few days. It doesn't have to be perfect, hence the pull ups, but the concept should be completely understood by the child. I always encouraged kids as they learned the skill, assisting them as they mastered the process.
What I didnt indulge was the parents who potty trained for a very extended period of time, with the parent doing the reminding to go, placing them on the potty, sitting there for a half hour with books and then calling that potty training.
Nope! A child needs to be aware of what they are doing and actively engaged in it all, which can happen in a few days once they are ready to do it!
