Potty training tends to come late for our kids.  That is one of the reasons diaper companies are making larger pull-ups.  While it is imperative that you do work with them to be potty trained, you must feel it out to determine when they are ready.  It is another element that is delayed in their development but it will come in time.  Training is done through a reward system given in increments depending on what your particular kid can be bribed with.  Food is never a good incentive.  You do not want them to reward themselves with food when they are adults and when you have to go to the bathroom you are not always hungry.  For those kids that are terrified of loosing the pull-ups try cutting holes in the areas that need to be exposed for elimination.  Once you see them start to go run them to the potty and let them go through the pull ups.  Once they realize that it isn’t really harming them it will go much easier.  Just remember to keep your wits about you because this can be a hard hurdle.
