purchased a lens and the condition is absolutely unacceptable, firstly there are no front or back caps, the state of the glass front and back is shocking and there is a grinding on the focus ring like it has grip inside.. CEX's policy is it is down to me to pay the return costs, why exactly? they have sold me a faulty item so they should without question be footing the return costs.. I have contaced a Consumer Action group and currently awaiting a reply.. have sent CEX 6 emails and only ever… Read Full Review

I sometimes tend to buy games from CeX of which most accept to swap the disc just fine but here's the thing, the CeX of Camden is a lot different than the rest, they've got an arrogant attitude, unwilling to swap the disc even though it's the same company and their customer service just isn't good at all. Avoid CeX of Camden at all costs! The others however, seem to be quite decent as they've done as asked without putting any barriers, which were; Streatham, Stratford, Kilburn, Bayswater… Read Full Review

We have been happily using Cex in store and the staff in store (Halifax) are very helpful and the service is good. Online it is a very different company. We had traded in a lot of games in store and had vouchers totalling over £100. I used some of this amount online to order an Ipod which was supposed to be category A (excellent condition). The order arrived quite promptly in early November but I was not happy with the condition of it as it had obvious signs of heavy use and scratches on the… Read Full Review

UPDATE - after posting this review I was contacted by the owner of CEX who apologised for the poor service I had received. I received a refund plus an additional £25 goodwill gesture the following day (5th Jan). Whilst I am still unimpressed with the initial service I received, I was impressed by the quick response and actions of the owner. It's just a shame that I needed to post a bad review to get that response. I did mention to him that he seriously needs to do something to improve communication methods with his company and he says that he is currently looking at this.

Brought an iPhone 4 from cex which 4 weeks later has stopped working. I took into the apple store where they took one look at it and said i should go and get a refund asap as it had clearly been taken apart before I brought it, didn't have a serial number where there should be one on the phone and basically was dodgy ! So lesson learnt I will never buy anything from Cex again and would strongly suggest no one else does either. I'm reporting it to trading standardsand anyone else who will… Read Full Review

I bought a Grade A blackberry curve 2 weeks ago and it stopped working completely after 4 days. Took it back to CEX last Saturday and after being in their possession for "testing" I was told I had damaged it!! I demanded to see the Manager who was rude and bordering on being a bully. He claimed I'd pulled the back off the phone, ripped the rubber seals off and damaged the charger plug-in socket!

I took a mint Samsung Galaxy S3 into CEX to sell. The phone did not have a mark on it and was in the original box with all accessories. The person behind the counter looked at the phone and said the screen was marked - it was a fingerprint which wiped off! They then agreed that the phone was grade-A and would be tested before they would pay. I was asked to go back in 1 hour. I went back to be told that the phone was grade-B because of a scratch on the back. This mark had appeared whilst in… Read Full Review

Who is this geezer, that is the most biased unbelievable review I have ever read. Must be a very childlike person to write such garbage, and before any reply that assumes I am a CEX employee, I am 65 years old and fully retired. Absolutely nothing wrong with any branch of CEX that I have visited.

A quick search on Google for CEX delivers a whole range of negative results with customers complaining about poor service, shoddy products and highly negative experiences. I wish I'd searched before I used CEX as I could have avoided doing business with them and saved myself a lot of problems. At first all seemed OK; I sent them a package of several games and DVDs. In return they sent me voucher by email. The appalling problems came when I tried to redeem the email voucher. I purchased two… Read Full Review

Divestitures, privatization and corporate performance in emerging markets
We use new firm-level data to examine the effects of firm divestitures and privatization on corporate performance in a rapidly emerging market economy. Unlike the existing literature, we control for accompanying ownership changes and the fact that divestitures and ownership are potentially endogenous variables. We find that divestitures increase the firm's profitability but do not alter its scale of operations, while the effect of privatization depends on the resulting ownership structure - sometimes improving performance and sometimes bringing about decline. The effects of privatization are thus more nuanced than suggested in earlier studies. Methodologically, our study provides evidence that it is important to control for changes in ownership when analyzing divestitures and to control for endogeneity, selection and data attrition when analyzing the effects of divestitures and privatization.

Department of Homeland Security:
Assessments of Selected Complex Acquisitions
GAO-10-588SP: Published: Jun 30, 2010. Publicly Released: Jun 30, 2010.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acquisitions represent hundreds of billions of dollars in life-cycle costs to support a wide range of missions. Creating acquisition policies and processes to provide insight into the performance of a wide array of complex investments, while also providing oversight for many component agencies new to acquisition management, has been an ongoing challenge for DHS. GAO performed this review because DHS implementation and transformation is on GAO's high risk list. This report (1) provides an update on DHS's efforts to implement acquisition oversight for all investments; (2) describes acquisition performance and common challenges across selected programs; and (3) provides individual profiles for 18 selected programs, 15 of which were major programs that had initiated acquisition activities. GAO selected programs based on relevance to frontline homeland security missions and assessed cost and schedule performance and acquisition planning challenges.
DHS continues to develop its acquisition oversight function and has begun to implement a revised acquisition management directive that includes more detailed guidance for programs to use when informing component and departmental decision making. The senior-level Acquisition Review Board (ARB) has begun to meet more frequently and has provided programs decision memorandums with action items to improve performance. The ARB reviewed 24 major acquisition programs in fiscal years 2008 and 2009; however, more than 40 major acquisition programs had not been reviewed, and programs have not consistently implemented review action items by established deadlines. Additionally, DHS has developed a database to capture and track key program information, including cost and schedule performance, contract awards, and program risks. At the component level, oversight officials are establishing new acquisition executive positions to manage acquisition processes, but departmental leadership has limited their decision authority due to staffing levels and inconsistencies between component- and department-level acquisition policies. Further, DHS acquisition management processes do not inform budget decisions as required by DHS policy, and as a result DHS is at risk of failing to maximize resources and ultimately meet critical mission needs. GAO has found that program performance metrics for cost and schedule can provide useful indicators of the health of acquisition programs and can be valuable tools for improving insight and oversight of programs. Further, realistic program baselines with stable requirements, an adequate and skilled program office workforce, and knowledge of long-term support requirements are important factors to successful acquisitions. However, program performance cannot be accurately assessed without valid baseline requirements established at the program start, particularly those that establish the minimum acceptable threshold required to satisfy user needs. Using the best available information, GAO found that of the 15 major programs that had started acquisition activities, 12 reported cost growth, and almost all programs reported schedule delays. DHS policy requires acquisition oversight officials to assess the accuracy of life-cycle cost estimates for all major programs estimated to exceed $1 billion and provides guidance for programs to develop life-cycle cost estimates. The responsible DHS acquisition oversight officials have raised concerns about the accuracy of cost estimates for most major programs, making it difficult to assess the significance of the reported cost growth. Further, over half of the programs GAO reviewed initiated acquisition activities without approved key planning documents that set operational requirements and establish program baselines. Programs also experienced other acquisition planning challenges, such as staffing shortages, and lack of sustainment planning, as well as execution challenges related to technical capability, partner dependence, and funding issues. DHS's success in improving acquisition depends on further implementation of needed improvements and sustained management attention. GAO is not making any new recommendations as this is intended as a status report. However, GAO has previously made numerous recommendations intended to improve acquisition management. DHS generally agreed with the findings and noted actions taken and efforts under way to improve the Department's acquisition review process.

Showy Cars Out For A Spin Get Crunched
By editor
Some fans of luxury sports cars in Japan took their pricey babies out Sunday — a fantastic fleet of eight Ferraris, two Mercedes and one Lamborghini. The road was wet, the cars were fast — one Ferrari pulled out to pass, skidded into a barrier and spun out. The result was a costly pileup.

Research Indicates That Dogs Can Feel Lovethe daily dish
Researchers are working to prove what dog owners have said for years. Dogs really do love us! Scientists at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., have discovered that dogs do in fact experience feelings of love and affection.
After training dogs to tolerate the noise of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, a team of scientists was able to get clear images of dogs' brains without sedating them.
"I thought that if military dogs can be trained to jump out of helicopters then surely we could train them to sit still inside an MRI scanner," said neuroscientist Gregory Berns.
The team used hand signals to tell the dogs that they were going to receive treats while they were in the scanner. The resulting images showed that the caudate nucleus, a part of the brain related to positive emotions, was similar in both humans and dogs. This discovery lead the team to believe that dogs are capable of feeling emotions associated with love.
"We can really begin to understand what a dog is thinking rather than infer it from their behavior," Berns said.
Many scientists argue that the bond between an owner and their dog goes no further than a dog's need for safety and food. Bern's and his team's next step in their research is to prove this belief to be false by offering dogs food from strangers and machines.
"If, as many scientists have argued in the past, it is all simply about getting food for dogs, then the reaction in their brains would be the same no matter who or what is offering them the food," Bern said.
Bern and his team will continue their research, working to prove that dogs love their owners as more than just a source of food and security.
"We hope to show that they love us for things far beyond food, basically the same things that humans love us for, like social comfort and social bonds," Berns said.

DEFINITION of 'Coefficient Of Variation - CV'
A statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data series around the mean. It is calculated as follows:
The coefficient of variation represents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and it is a useful statistic for comparing the degree of variation from one data series to another, even if the means are drastically different from each other.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Coefficient Of Variation - CV'
In the investing world, the coefficient of variation allows you to determine how much volatility (risk) you are assuming in comparison to the amount of return you can expect from your investment. In simple language, the lower the ratio of standard deviation to mean return, the better your risk-return tradeoff.
Note that if the expected return in the denominator of the calculation is negative or zero, the ratio will not make sense.

Shawn Pogatchnik, Associated Press
DUBLIN — Throughout the deepening debt crisis, European Union leaders sought to portray Greece as a unique case in special need of aid. They were proved wrong when Ireland and Portugal required bailouts in 2011.
They're likely to be proved wrong again. And this time, the stakes are higher for the rest of the world.
Economists are confident that Portugal will follow Greece and seek a second bailout, and many expect Ireland to do the same. They agree that if both countries do need further funds in 2013, Europe can comfortably underwrite their cash needs.
The far greater risk to Europe's financial system would be if Spain or Italy — with their vastly larger economies and debt loads — are forced to take a bailout. At stake would be the very survival of the euro, the currency shared by 17 countries known as the eurozone.
Spain and Italy suffer many of the same kinds of problems that inspired creditors to flee Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
Italy's public debt level is not much better than Greece's and worse than Portugal's. Spain, like Ireland, faces a rising tide of business and household red ink tied to spectacular collapses in property prices since 2008 — and could find those crippling private losses transformed into public debt.
At the height of the debt crisis last winter, borrowing costs for Italy and Spain on bond markets hit highs that would have been unsustainable without a bailout.
New austerity-minded governments in Rome and Madrid have helped calm fears, but of far greater significance was the European Central Bank's decision to provide banks more than €1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in bargain-basement loans. This unprecedented injection spurred banks to snap up battered government debt, driving up the bonds' value and driving Spanish and Italian borrowing costs down again.
Economists warn such relief is only temporary. The eurozone's weakest economies must convince investors they can repay their debts without special help.
Yet the economies of Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece are forecast to shrink this year, while Ireland alone might eke out a small gain. All are expected to cut spending and raise taxes — sucking money out of their cash-strapped economies.
"Portugal is the next great litmus test for the eurozone," said Constantin Gurdgiev, an economist who teaches finance at Trinity College Dublin. "We know it cannot avoid a second bailout. And Portugal offers a sneak preview of what is going to happen in Spain."
To maintain investors' confidence in the euro, economists say Europe must build a financial "firewall" exceeding €1 trillion, a figure big enough to provide credible aid in the event that Spain and Italy are priced out of the bond markets.
Europe's future rescue fund due to come into force in July, the European Stability Mechanism, as envisioned barely cracks €500 billion — and some €200 billion of that is already earmarked for use in the existing Greek, Irish and Portuguese bailouts. Much of what's left could be hoovered up by a second bailout for Portugal and Ireland and a further bailout for Greece.
European finance ministers meet next week in Copenhagen to discuss plans to raise the firewall by up to another €240 billion, a move being resisted by Germany. But even a firewall claiming a headline figure of €740 billion seems too small to reassure the markets about Spain and Italy, whose government debt stands at a combined €2.6 trillion ($3.4 trillion).
"If we had a rescue umbrella over the whole eurozone for Italy and Spain, which is clearly not the case now, this would reduce the risks involved," said Ulrike Rondorf, a Commerzbank economist in Frankfurt.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2012 Jeep Liberty
By KBB.com Editors
Die-hard Jeep fans may have worried that the redesigned Jeep Liberty would go soft in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience, but that didn't happen. Last year's complete makeover saw the Liberty become more civilized, thanks to a long list of features, improved ride and handling and better fuel economy. At the same time, a pair of very capable four-wheel drive systems, a highly functional interior and a more rugged styling theme allow the Liberty to retain its off-road roots. While it's difficult to meet the various needs of modern SUV buyers, Jeep fans can rest easy knowing the redesigned Liberty still embodies all that the Jeep brand has come to represent.
You'll like the Jeep Liberty if you want a mid-size SUV with rugged good looks, room for five and go-anywhere off-road capabilities. Plus, the Sky Slider Roof lets you have open air fun without the added noise and security concerns of owning a soft-top Jeep Wrangler.
You may not like the Jeep Liberty if you don't plan to venture away from paved roads. By focusing strictly on on-road handling, many newer crossover SUVs offer more comfort and efficiency than the Liberty while still offering SUV roominess.
The 2009 Jeep Liberty receives more standard content, while improvements to the vehicle's suspension and steering round out the major mechanical changes.
Driving Impressions The 2009 Jeep Liberty must contend with both on- and off-road driving situations and it manages to perform admirably in both. At freeway speeds, the revised suspension provides a smooth...and quiet ride, yet on winding roads the steering is responsive and body lean is well controlled. However, it is away from paved roads where the Jeep Liberty really shines, with two highly capable four-wheel drive systems, All-speed Traction Control, Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist and anti-lock brakes with rough road detection giving the Liberty truly impressive off-road credentials. The Liberty's V6 provides plenty of power for tackling demanding trails, but on the open road it feels lethargic, requiring frequent downshifts to maintain speed when traveling uphill.
Sky Slider Roof
Opening the optional Sky Slider Roof lets the sun shine in and the breeze waft around the cabin, yet with the soft-top closed interior noise is on par with the standard metal-roof Jeep Liberty.
uconnect tunes Infotainment System
Combining a hands-free phone system, voice-recognition, 30 gigabyte digital music storage, GPS navigation and real-time traffic information, the Liberty's uconnect tunes option offers lots of information, communication and entertainment resources in one easy-to-use device.
The interior of the 2009 Jeep Liberty offers the clean, functional simplicity one expects from a Jeep. From the perspective of off-road enthusiasts, the Liberty's easy-to-clean, hard plastic interior is ideal, but those who enjoy a bit of panache from a vehicle's interior should opt for either of the Limited trim's "Premium Group" packages . Head room is good in all seating positions; however, with the front seats adjusted for normal-sized adults, rear-seat leg room can be tight. Cargo space behind the second row is good, but those needing more space will appreciate standard 60/40 flat-folding rear seats and the optional folding front-passenger seat.Exterior
The 2009 Jeep Liberty reverts to the squared look of the original Jeep Cherokee while also presenting a modern take on classic Jeep styling cues. A box-like profile and prominent fender flairs create a solid purposeful stance, while its signature seven-slot grille and hexagonal headlamps with round lighting elements give the Liberty a face that looks distinctly Jeep. In back, the spare tire resides beneath the vehicle, allowing easy access to the tailgate's flip-up rear glass.
The 2009 Jeep Liberty is offered in two trims: Sport and Limited. The standard equipment list for the base Sport trim includes air conditioning, body-colored bumpers and fender flares, MP3-capable CD player with auxiliary audio input jack and power windows, mirrors and door locks. The Limited Edition Liberty adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Stain Repel stain-resistant seat fabric, premium Infinity speakers with subwoofer and 368-watt amplifier, chrome exterior accents and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls. Standard safety features for both trims include anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control with roll-over mitigation, traction control, front airbags and two-row side-curtain airbags.
There are several option packages available to further outfit the Jeep Liberty, including the Sport trim's Popular Equipment Group, which features a six-speaker stereo, fold-flat front passenger seat, fog lamps, cruise control, tinted glass and a two-pronged power outlet. Available for the Limited Edition Liberty is Premium Group 1, which adds leather-trimmed heated seats, remote start, automatic headlamps and memory functions; and Premium Group 2, which adds automatic climate control, ParkSense rear park assist, 18-inch wheels and rain-sensing wipers. A tow package with Class-III hitch, seven-pin wiring harness and trailer sway control can be added to either trim.
The 2009 Jeep Liberty is powered by a 3.7-liter V6. It offers plenty of power when tackling rough trails but the on-road acceleration is underwhelming. The Liberty features a standard four-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previously available six-speed manual transmission. The Liberty is offered with a choice of Command-Trac II part-time four-wheel drive or Selec-Trac II full-time four-wheel drive. Both systems include a low-speed transfer case which multiplies engine torque to help traverse challenging terrain at very low speeds.
3.7-liter V6
210 horsepower at 5200 rpm
235 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 (2WD), 15/21 (4WD)

"Bought this car to keep me safe going over snowy mountain passes during winter in Oregon. Heavy vehicle! Makes me worry about what would happen to "the other guy," should an accident occur. Definitely NOT eco-friendly, as it usually gets around 14.1 MPG. An "eco" light appears when the rig is driving more economically, which means my foot is off the gas or I am at a maintained speed, even if going 75-80 mph! Ridiculous! Extremely comfortable interior, especially the heated leather seats! Great looking, although quite "chunky," yet a bumper sticker I once saw on a Jeep applies: "Aerodynamics are overrated!" Ha, ha!"

"I purchased this vehicle new. It is still tight and the ride still makes me feel secure in all types of weather. Unlike my previous vehicles, my Jeep does not hydroplane in heavy rains. The torque from this six cylinder still amazes me and has no problem with pulling a boat trailer out of the landing (I've seen the big boys embarrassed look when their V8's struggle to do what my Jeep so easily does). I am pretty confident that the longevity of my Jeep will easily surpass any of the previous vehicles I have owned, domestic and or foreign. My Jeep is just as comfortable with in town driving as it is with cruising 80 mph on the freeway. It hugs the road, no vibrations, wind noise, and handles just as comfortably at 80 as at 40 mph. My Jeep is without a doubt the best vehicle I have ever owned."

"I owned a 2002 Liberty and traded it in 2013 on a 2014 Mazda CX5. The Mazda had 27 MPG and handled well on the road. But, was not comfortable, had lots of road noise and other features that weren't up to par. I found a 2012 Liberty with low miles and I hope it proves to be as good as my 2002. The Jeep is solid, quiet on the road, handles well, seats are more comfortable than the Mazda and the sound system is much better in the Bose in the Mazda. The Jeep is also easier to see out of so that makes it safer on the road, you are less likely to not see a car coming! The only real tradeoff is MPG. I also like that the Jeep is 4WD not AWD. I like feeling my 4WD engage. If I love it as much as I loved my 2002, I'll be a very happy purchaser!"

"I had absolutely no problems with this vehicle. It was ordered with every valuable option available in April 2011. (wasn't a fan of the sky slider so i got the moon roof) Serviced only when required i.e. when the change oil warning prompted. (Use synthetic) Performed flawlessly in snow, icy and hot summer road conditions (got 4 michelin primacy mx4, REMARKABLE!). Didn't care much for 1. Gas mileage was City: 16mpg; Hwy: 22mpg ( The 3.7L eng mated to a 4speed trans seems to think its a V8 :) 2. Absence of a back up camera Buying points: 1.

"Everything else you can figure out with some test drives, photos, and generic reviews... what Jeep refuses to announce is that the Sky Slider roof has a severe design flaw which basically guarantees the roof will mechanically fail and either be stuck open or stuck shut destroying the value of the vehicle and making it basically impossible to drive. And since it's a hundreds for a mechanic just to look at it and a LOT more to fix sticking you with a monthly bill for the life of your loan on a vehicle that you'll be unable to sell without throwing thousands of your own money into the mix"

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
Studying the basis of life's design cannot meaningfully be separated from the character of the One responsible for it. By living in relationship with him through whom all things were created and in whom all things have their being, we experience the purpose and meaning with which this universe is infused.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.

Study on Potty training has found....
A new study says that on average, it's an 8- to 10-month process, whether mom's home during the day or not.
So we're not all failures if it's taking more than a week or month to get the kid fully potty trained. I'm a SAHM and we're on month #6. DS (3) finally decided within the past two months that peeing in the potty is a good thing. Only had a couple accidents and it's been nearly 3 weeks since the last one! I'm proud of him!
We were at 95% for about 9 months. And that was even being in school with a kiddy potty right there in the room, watching all her peers wearing big-kid pants.
I think it's not child intelligence or parenting skills. I think even if those are above average, if the bladder ain't ready it ain't ready.
(don't even get me started on #2)
we tried a couple of times to train dd, now 3yo. we finally gave up becuase the doc said that until they are 3yo they really don't understand what the sensations are and quite often there bladder muscles just arn't devoloped. and sure enouph just before her 3rd bday she decided she needed to use the potty. now 3 months later she is fully trained even at night. my ds we will leave till he is 3 as well. i get really frustrated with people who need to tell you that there kids were potty trained by 1yo. i have visions of this baby crawling up on the potty. just my 2cents though
Yes, I've heard family stories, too, about kids being trained at a year or 18 months. Like my Gram said my one great aunt had her kids all trained by 13 months but we're talking she was nasty with them! She would make them wear wet or dirty pants for hours to teach them it was bad and they got spanked with a paddle for going and punished in other ways. Like a kid that age can really understand the concept and everything?
I wanted DS potty trained early but it just didn't happen...he wouldn't cooperate and the more we yelled at him for going in his pants the more he resisited. He's been potty-trained fully (well during the day. Some nights he doesn't wet a pull-up and others he does a lot! It's not because he has a pull-up on either cause he'll get out of bed in the morning and have one on and still go to the potty just fine) for about 5 months now. I know kids older than him that are still working on it and parents who haven't even tried really. So I guess where he is is better than where he could be.
My kids were trained by 18 months....boy and girl. The difference is cloth diapers. Kids know when they have wet when it runs down their leg.....and it's very easy to tell them "next time, why don't we do that in the tiolet like a big girl/boy"....I know parents now don't believe it can happen, but without the superabsorbant disposables, it's uncomfortable to be wet.....not that I would leave a child in a wet diaper....but they know when they pee into their shoes! And are much more aware of the "situation".
I have 2 grand children who were trained about 2....momma used cloth diapers, but went back to work with the 3rd and 4th and used disposables....
Linda C
Linda, when my daughter was potty training, I had her in big girl pants, not pullups or diapers. And she could care LESS that she peed or pooped. It was unreal!
I had always heard philosophies like yours, and hoped the feeling of it would deter it from happening, but in my case it didn't.
My first was self initiated at 18 months. He's an above average smarty farty, and has always wanted to "mimic" older peoples behavior. But, he wet the bed until he turned 10.
My second was completely trained on his initiative too, a few months before his 3rd birthday. But, he was day and night trained immediately when HE decided it was time. I think in the last 3 years, he's had a total of 6 or so "accidental" not get to the potty in times or night wetting.
Now, my 3rd, wants to dress himself, likes to remove his diaper, and hides to poop...and wakes up nearly 4-5 nights a week dry. But refuses to use the potty, unless he's in the tub and needs to poop...
He will be 3 the middle of May. I figure it will be soon. He's pretty much physically ready..just isn't emotionally ready.
I've heard the bit about using cloth diapers, but I remember when babies regularly wore cloth diapers, and they didn't seem to potty train any earlier than the babies of today, many of whom wear disposables. Look in old baby care books, and they generally suggest three years old as an average age for potty training, which seems about what it is today.
My DD was potty trained at 18 months. We bought her a potty and took her every time we went. She then came to get me when she wanted to go. We gave her a sticker and a treat which inspired her even more!! We never made her stay on the potty until she went or made a big deal out of it, but we were consistent in taking her.
My DS was 2 when he was trained and he liked to play sink the boat. (A piece of toilet paper that I would put in the bowl for him to pee on!) It worked.
Each child responds differently and in their own time. I certainly would initiate the training, but not get overly concerned at this stage. Parents have minimal control over what goes in and not control over what comes out!!
