atWhat Age Were You're Kids Toilet Trained?

[pamela]

Talk about customer service...today my Mom & I went shopping for Christmas gifts for my kids. We went to Best Buy for several things, one in particular was the Nintendo DS Madden '08 game. The store we were at did not have it, so they called another store to see if they did. No luck. SO, they called a GameStop up the street to see if they had it...no luck. THEN they called another GameStop a little further away and they did have it! The Best Buy employee asked them to hold it for me!! WOW! They were SO nice and really didn't mind helping me find this-imagine the time it would have taken me to drive all over town looking for this! While I was waiting, I was telling my Mom about how I cut my finger (pretty badly) on the old USG and the lady that was helping me said..."you mean the PC USG?" "I LOVE PC" so I gave her a catalog and she booked a show! I was simply amazed at the quality of customer care that I got and it really hit home that I should be doing the same for my customers:approve:

That is great. It is nice to see that some people will still go that extra mile.

Yeah, that's rare.

I dread going into Walmart. They always have long lines and surrly (sp??) check out clerks. Yesterday I had a really nice one. Pleasant, effecient, all good. I went to CS and said "I want to comment on one of your cashiers" the clerk made a face like "oh no not again" and then I proceeded to tell her that _____ was the nicest, most efficient clerk I had had in forever, making eye contact and pleasant and that she should be training the other clerks. The CS person was shocked and thanked me.

I always feel that we should go the extra mile to recognize great service since we tend to complain about the bad...

Yes- what a nice story. What is so amazing is that we are so impressed by it. Customer service in most stores is almost nonexsistent. just goes to show how people notice it and pass it on. Thanks for sharing and hopefully we can help our customers with stellar customer service this holiday season.

Wow! You got that kind of service at Best Buy?!?!? I'm shocked!

And woo hoo on booking a show!

Mine were 2 1/2 (a girl) and 3 3/4 (a boy).

Both my son and daughter were trained by age 3. DS was cute... just one day he pushed down on the diaper I was attempting to attach to him and said "no diaper mommy"... and that was it! No more diaper day OR night. DD was slightly different... she responded over time to 'training' and was dry during the day first, then night... But then that's how the each learn too. He's the kind of kid that wants to KNOW without learning and she's the kind that responds well to learning over time.

About 3 1/2 for my son and just over 2 for my daughter. My youngest son is 2 now, and we haven't really even started thinking about it. I may pull out the potty chair soon, but I'm in no hurry.

My oldest son was 3 yrs 4 months - learned quickly - never had any accidents. My second son was just 3 yrs old (although he resisted - he is a June b-day who was going to preschool in August so we had to push him). My daughter was 3 years 5 months old -she trained herself when we were on vacation at a waterpark - she didn't want to wear the swim diapers so she kept getting out of the pool to use the bathroom. I highly recommend waiting until your child is ready - much easier than pushing them along. I liked waiting and only have to focus on it for less than a week - my kids were always dry at night. However, I am glad to be past all of the diapering stage (youngest is 6 1/2)

You were just an independent thinker unswayed by peer pressure.

Mine were both 2 1/2 when they were potty trained one girl and one boy

Still waiting for # 2 to be trained! She's 2.5 years and HAS Zero Desire! Where as my older DD was completely trained by 2.5! I was 18 months according to my mom .

Ok i'm really unsure on how to go about "training" my daughter. She is almost 21m, she loves to sit on her potty. She asks to all the time and has me take off her diaper. Lately she has been saying potty potty but she has already gone in her diaper but wants to sit on the potty.

This is my first child so I have not clue really on what to do.

All three of my youngest potty trained in the 3's. The girls earlier then my son. I totally waited them out. We never used Pull-Ups..just finished out the pack of diapers they had. They all just decided to do it and that was it.

That is the how it happens in the beginning. That is great that she is interested in sitting on the potty. Try making a "Potty Chart". My sister did one for my son with 10 clouds. Everytime he went he got to put a sticker on a cloud. When all 10 had stickers we went to like the dollar store so he could pick out a treat!
I have to say it worked really well. I did the Hershey's Kiss thing too but I didn't like giving him sugar. I went to the bathroom once and came out and he had a Hershey's Kiss waiting for me. I said no thanks and he said but you just went to the potty. It was SOOOO CUTE!!! LOL!!

The week before his 3rd bday.

I am hoping #3 potty traines herself

 

[Carissidy]

My first potty trained just before 3. ANd my second is already starting and she is 22 months old! It sure would be nice to get them both out of diapers!

 

[chefkristin]

Oh my son was 3yrs and 4 months
