You have no credibility because you have no children and aren't a pediatrician, yet you're making statements that if a child isn't potty trained by 3, there's a problem.
I asked you to cite your source for this information, which you didn't do.
It's perfectly fine not to know anything about certain topics, as long as you don't pretend that you do.
It would be like me going to a hunting and fishing forum and telling them what's what, when I hadn't done either. NOBODY would take me seriously.

I know plenty. I know people who have potty trained and they've discussed as it was what was going on with their lives.

There are hundreds of variations of what different phases look like when a child is growing up. EVEN I, now old enough to be a grandparent, would NEVER say I know plenty.
That, in itself would show how little I know.
Watching others with their kids do not make one an expert. Sorry.
My son wasn't potty trained till 3. I didn't think anything about it till the pediatrician suggested he should be potty trained. I had two daughters before that and potty trained them earlier and with no problem, but I guess I just waited till I thought they were ready, not using age as a guideline. My son was just ready later. Once I decided to potty train him, he was potty trained quickly.
I personally like to potty train when the weather is warm so if they have an accident they aren't wearing wet pants in the cold.
I just read an article on webmd that stated daytime accidents can happen until a child is five, and bedtime accidents can happen into grade school.
I agree, they're all unique. Our pediatrician told us to wait until they were 33 months, as I recall, "and then I expect it to happen quickly." In the case of mine, that was true, but I knew kids in other families that had some fears and it took longer.
My son was not fully potty trained until he was 3 1/2. I remember stressing about it because I was a daycare/pre-school teacher at the time and many of the kids in my class that were 2 1/2 were on their way. My son had zero interest. I took him to work with me and I would say, "Look at the other kids going to the potty. Do you want to try?" He would just look at me and say, "Nope". Our pediatrician told me not to worry. Boys take longer. He told me to start becoming concerned when he turns 4.
My son always had a little bit of a stubborn streak on somethings. Once he decided he liked all the cartoon underwear, that was it. Done.
Recently an employee told me that his 1 yr old and 22 month old are both potty trained. I find that a bit young.

I dont know what grade school means.. or age...but if a child is still wetting the bed after four or five theres something emotionally wrong...
So what do you think causes bed wetting.. in an older child...Children in orphanages seem to bet wet more , is there a connection... Kids who see fighting or arguements in the home... bullying from other childrens.. being shouted at or hit can cause bed wetting..many causes but mostly emotional..
