I must admit my own child was out of nappies very young as well because I learned to read the signs and he caught on pretty quickly. The trend nowadays seems to be to leave them in nappies for ages and then put them in such things as trainer nappies that pull on. Not sure that I agree with this.
Personally, I don't think an issue should be made of toilet training kids. However, we do it with puppies!!! so why not with children?
All kids are different, but I do think that some of the old ideas were better in this respect.
It is certainly true that you never see babies wearing nappies in the less developed countries.
Well, FP, maybe the reason those babies aren't wearing nappies is that in less developed countries, there is often human waste in the street, not because the baby runs to the potty on time.
I have a friend who potty trained her son at age 2 or so by letting him run naked outside on her private property. She said it was helpful to him to see the pee coming out and get a visual cue at the same time as the bladder cue, so he linked the feeling of need with the feeling of release and control She said it took less than a week. I don't think she tried it for BMs.
