A few tips for consideration:
1. don't get too worried about your child still wearing nappy past x years. How many teenagers or pre-teens still wear nappies? A child will eventually grow out of nappies, some just take longer.
2. They need to be physically/psychologically ready. i.e. don't start potty training before 2 years, their bladder control is probably not sufficiently developed by that age. Psychologically, they may find potty or adult sized toilet too overwhelming/scary. Especially if your child is small, the 'big people' toilet might be too high, or they are scared of falling through, even with a child toilet seat.
3. motivation/positive reinforcement.
I personally found a potty/toilet training book very useful. It's called 'I'm a big girl now' and is a picture book which promotes potty/toilet over nappies. My daughter loved it and was even reciting lines from the book. e.g. nappies are wet and yucky; I'm a big girl now, I wear underwear... etc.
When they do successfully use the potty/toilet, give them lots & lots & lots of praise and rewards, can be food, can be a new book/toy, or even ipad/tv time. Positive reinforcement always works better than negative.
4. be consistent and do it when you can follow the routine.
If and when you start potty training, stick to it. Don't back down for at least 3-5 days. Don't do it while you are on holiday or in a new environment. Tell CC that you've started potty training and they can keep it going (but pack extra underwear and pants). Take away all nappies (i.e. temptation to revert back). However, if there's no obvious progress after 5 days, stop and try again in a few months' time.
5. be prepared for failure
Don't be surprised if your child has accidents during or even after toilet training. And definitely don't scold/punish them. Dirty clothes and sheets can be washed. Bring extra underwear and pants when you go out. Even when toilet training is successful, most kids may still wet the bed occasionally for a few more months afterwards. Ask them to go to the toilet before going to sleep will help.
Children learn quickly and prefer dry/comfortable to wet/yucky sensations. I think having a few accidents is actually helpful in making them understand that.
Side note: I started toilet training my daughter when she was 2 years 2 months, but after 3 days there was no improvement. So I knew she wasn't yet ready.
Tried again at 2 years 5 months, it took her 6 days to be potty trained. There were 3 small accidents (wet underwear + pants) and 1 big accident (which my husband caught with his hand ). Occasional bed wetting overnight (once a fortnight) for the next 2 months but it wasn't long before she started calling out in the night to go to the toilet. So it's a gradual process.
Good luck!
