A mother of three from Australia has revealed that her 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son are still wearing diapers and she doesn't intend to potty train them until the kids want to. The blogger believes that every child develops differently, so there is no need to follow generally accepted development standards. Some mothers support her stance, while many social media users have criticized these beliefs.
Laura Mazza, 33, of Melbourne, Australia, says her 2-year-old son James will start potty training when he wants to. The mom of three has been criticized by social media users for not potty-training her 4-year-old daughter Sophia as well. The girl still uses diapers.
The blogger said that her son is already able to speak in coherent sentences, eats independently, and learned to walk before his siblings. Laura admitted that she avoided going to the doctors with her children at first, but now discusses their development with a nurse.
The Aussie says she is not going to force her kids to use the potty. She believes that there is no specific age at which toddlers should start walking, talking and learning to use the potty.
The woman's eldest son, 6-year-old Luca, started potty-training when he turned four. Laura urges parents not to conform to common stereotypes about a child's skills at certain stages of development.
The blogger believes that children should learn the necessary things at the right time for themselves. Some moms share her view that all babies develop differently, but many parents criticize Laura's reluctance to potty train their children.
