My dd is 21 months and showing all the signs of being ready for potty training, but her language skills are not good, she doesn't really talk yet, should I wait till she can talk ??

Hi, Not sure if it helps or not. I waited until mine was 2.8mths and could dress herself and talk. However that means she is a lot more stubbon and answers back NO as she does not want to sit on the potty. Also very good at tantrums. Maybe its easier going earlier as they can not tantrum so much?? Good luck!

No, don't wait until she can use words. She has plenty of other ways to communicate and there's no linkage between verbal skills and bladder/bowel control.

Nah. Start now while the signs are there.
