The thing that makes sense to me is the early association of elimination with the toilet; it seems like if that association is already there it would keep it from becoming a big power struggle at a later stage.
Yeah! Exactly.
I was thinking of trying basically the same approach you mention -- use diapers all the time, but do try to watch for cues and use the toilet whenever possible.
That power struggle story is TOTALLY BIZARRE. I'm enchanted and terrified. :)
