you mean you don't want to hiss like a snake to get your child to pee or poop?

Wouldn't that confuse the child as he's growing up. You can either pee in the yard or the toilet...whichever is closest Honey. To each his own.

I don't think I'd want to start potty training that early. I joke about potty training Keith now but I wouldn't actually do it yet.

I don't see how it works, and I don't have the energy to put into it. I remember Molly (Mom to Many) saying she was going to try this with her next baby, I wonder if she ever did. Didn't she have another baby not to long ago? Anyone still talk to Molly?

Interesting idea. I'm curious as to why the mom in the article helped her daughter relieve herself in the sink in a public restroom though - why not use the toilet?

My thought exactly! My germaphobic self would have been absolutely appauled if I'd witnessed that in the public restroom. I don't care when you choose to potty train your child but there is an appropriate place to pee/poop and the bathroom sink is NOT it!

I also had to laugh at the photo of the mother holding the 13 month old up over the potty. What about a potty chair? It looks highly uncomfortable.
And does mommy/daddy have to go to preschool with their child later on and hiss in order for him/her to go to the potty? Sounds like they are conditioning their children to use the potty -- not training them.
I just don't get the whole process I guess
