Very interesting article here in the Times Educational Supplement regarding this subject which perhaps disproves your argument. Many things have changed since many of us had very young children. Firstly not so many mothers worked so had more time to potty train. Children seem to be starting school a lot younger, nursery at the age of three? There are also psychological dangers into forcing a child to behave in a way that is not natural to them which then has knock on effects into later life. Lots of things and skills develop at different times so you can't put a specific time on some of these things. The expectation is that by the age of four most children should be potty trained but like all things some will achieve that earlier and some later. In the same way children learn to read at different ages. I am quite shocked that a special needs teacher should say such a thing, clearly someone in the wrong job?

They had similar at the Fowey Hall Hotel last year and believe they will again this year.
