    I'm not sure if it varies in different areas, but here you have to be 4 and in nappies to qualify for special needs. There is still hope for my 30 month old. :D

    Apparently millions of parents in many cultures across the world do this (I think mostly in countries where they cannnot afford nappies).

    Genuinely think this whole "trained by 9 months in developing countries" is a red herring. I agree with your "apparently"!

    Have visited a couple of developing countries, including their slums, and seen several children aged over 2 pee themselves without parent or child batting an eyelid.
