Pretty much, they all just potty trained when they were almost five. That is late to most people, but its how it has been here. With the first couple of boys I spent about three stressed filled years trying to get them to potty train, and now I just don't do the drama. Usually the looming of Kindergarten and the threat that they can't go to school if they aren't potty trained is enough. My five year old even potty trained at four so he could do preschool. My four year old however, won't have much to do with it, so I am a little bit worried about him making it to Kindergarten next year.

I had to use totally different things to help each kid. My kids did not want stickers or reward charts. We tried candy with my oldest, but he would go in, pee just a tiny bit and then demand candy. Then he would repeat the process till he had consumed enough sweets to support Charlie's Chocolate Factory... Here’s what I learned from potty training each of my kids: they’re all different.
