We just went for it. His old daycare required pull ups so we would have him wear underwear whenever he was at home. It took awhile for him to get it, probably two months before he was consistently peeing in the potty and another month for no accidents. What really helped us was the week he spent at grandmas house. She was able to keep him in underwear full time and he finally started to get it.

No method..we went bottomless at home for a few months, and then transitioned to underwear when he was reliably going on the potty while naked at home.

LO began refusing to wear a diaper and would take it off anytime she was alone so we potty trained much sooner than I'd anticipated. If I were a SAHM I probably would've been more go with the flow, but we chose the 3-day method because I wanted to just be able to get it done over a long weekend. Now that it's over with I'm so glad she went through the anti-diaper phase and we potty trained when we did because it was much easier than I expected.

We followed the "Oh Crap, Potty Training" method.

No real method. We went bottomless at home once she started showing interest and once she was reliable at home we added undies. Which was a disaster at first, but we introduced a sticker chart and dollar store prizes that she used for about a week until she lost interest in it. But she's been daytime potty trained ever since. I think the whole process took about 3 months from her first potty interest to being potty trained.

I think you just have to know your kid's personality. If we waited I'd probably end up with a desperate attempt to potty train an older even more set in his ways kid when pre-k was starting, everything we've tried to let come naturally has epically failed, but he usually takes to methods very well. And potty training hasn't been an exception, the oh crap method is working very well for us.

We initially tried 3-Day and quit after the second day very discouraged. After that we spent the next couple months just gradually easing him into it.
