Parents Talk: Potty Training — When to Start? Tips?

This week's topic is potty training. What are your best potty training tips?

It's the first major rite of passage for our children, their first foray into independence.

There's a new "infant/early start potty training" movement underway to the training as early as just a few months — what are your thoughts on that?

Share your potty training success stories. Tell us what worked for you.

Patch's feature, "Parents Talk," is meant to help build a community of support for families in Fairfield County through active discussion of important issues. Each week, we'll introduce a new topic and hope you'll participate in the conversation, which will be moderated and furthered by select parent council representatives in your town. Comment threads will close after the weekend.

Please use the comment box below for questions, or to share your experiences and the lessons you have learned. Please also submit questions or topics for future discussions to Associate Regional Editor Liz Mitchell at liz@patch.com and Regional Editor Michael Dinan at michaeld@patch.com.

And if you'd like to join our parent council, let us know.
