There are 4 main times to start

EC or IPT

5 months and under, with an average completion of 2 years

Early Start

Around a year of age, average completion of 2.5 years

Modern traditional

Around 2 years of age with average completion of 3 years

When they demand it

Usually by 2.5 but it can be as late as 6, with average completion of 3.5

With my oldest I went with Early, I had not heard of ECing at the time. My son was done just after 2, and we had to use ALL the rewards and incentives to convince him he wanted to train. With my daughter we did the ECing and I will never go back to another method again! She essentially demanded to be trained long before she had the ability, I just had to help her learn the mecanics. Both day and night trained at 17 months.
