I have a parent who informed me yesterday she attemped potty training her 18 month old girl over the long weekend.
She did well at home, still having a few accidents but she mostly would be naked waist down and pee in the potty when/if she needed to.
I expressed concern to parent that it wil be different here with her friends around, she may not want to stop playing to pee on the potty.
PLUS she is still so young, I am not 100% convinced she is mentally or physically mature to potty train. (I have a son the exact age as her daughter, and I am not attempting to start potty training at this point!)
The morning went okay, she peed in the potty twice, but the got busy with her friends and had two accidents on the floor.
it would not bother me AS MUCH if I didnt just have a new area carpet purchased for our livingroom ($500) that she just peed on!
I am excited for her to be so interested and for giving the potty a try, and I really want her to 'get it' just as much as her paretns do, but I dont know what my limit is as far as the extra mess is concerned.

Has anyone experienced this before, how do you handle and how do you cope?
I know alot of daycares may have a 'no potty training' rule but I know it would assist dck alot quicker if home and daycare were consistant in their practises as far as this is concerned.
Thanks
