It's actually not a myth, but oftentimes girls will be trained between 18 and 24 months, with boys six to 12 months later. Of course, the timing of potty training is not important, and I suggest that parents not push the issue. Wait until the child demonstrates great interest in training, because ultimately, the child is in control of this matter, and you don't want to fight a battle with your child when the deck is stacked against you, the parent!
