Also, it is just as tough on the parents. Good parents are not parents who necessarily know it all. Good parents are parents who are willing to seek help and information when they need it in order to meet the unique needs of their teens.

Expert Author: David Beart For parents crossing the threshold from diapers into using the potty - the change is a welcome one. It is as if your child has left babyhood behind and is suddenly a big boy or girl, ready to start preschool and take on all life has to offer. But for so many parents - potty training doesn't come easy. They are haunted by stories from other parents who claim their child was trained long before they turned 2, or who learned to use the potty in just a few days time. Here you are, working on potty training for 6 months and still having to buy and change diapers. This brings to light the fact that no two children are alike - and there is no one way to do things when it comes to raising children.
