Children hit milestones on their own timeline. Push them toward what they're capable of, but don't let others pressure you about where they are now. The speaker waited to potty train until their kid was ready, joking they might still be in diapers at university.
Each child develops at a different stage. That's not to say that we can't help them, and there are times when a push and encouragement from us will help them achieve their milestones we didn't even know that they were capable of. But whatever it is, we don't need other people interfering with the stage that our child is at. And whether they're still in nappies or can't read yet really isn't anyone else's business. So instead of a passive or aggressive response, we need to put our assertive hat on. Yes, some children definitely take to potty training like a duck to water. We've decided for wait a bit, to wait a bit, as we just don't feel she's ready yet. And you might even add in some humour. She's out of nappies by the time she goes to university. We're fine with that.
