I've never heard of this Elimination Communication, but from what Shannon just wrote, it sounds like what my MIL did with DH. She reckons he was toilet trained by 1, and is horrified that I'd consider letting our kids go to 2 or 2 1/2 in nappies! The opinion I got of her 'training' tho, was that she had trained herself to read the signs and rush him to the loo... not that he was trained to go to the loo himself. Did that make sense?

Is this what this topic is about? I'm interested (even tho it's a way off for me yet.. I'm still looking forward to even getting to use my cloth nappies yet!! hehe) because it might explain MIL's methods a little more clearly to me, and perhaps there is something in it?
