Have a question about teaching toddlers

There are two factors I know of that influence how quickly a toddler learns life skills. One is whether the sim teaching the skill has the Family Oriented trait, as @Mikezumi mentioned. I don't know how much faster exactly things go, but it seems around twice as fast as normal. The other factor is the mood of the toddler, just as with other skills.
When I have a FO sim teaching a toddler with a maxed out mood bar, the walking and talking skills take around 2.5 hours, not including getting into position. Potty training takes 1.5 attempts. This has been consistent for all toddlers I've ever played with, no variation on time needed. And it's true even if the sim doing the teaching has no logic skills or anything else relevant, and even if that sim has almost no skills at all. I don't remember trying with sims who'd maxed out Logic, but certainly the time hasn't changed at all when a sim is around level 8 in Logic.
It sounds like in this case, either Palmira was in a terrible mood, or something about the save was bugged or glitching. I'd try it again just to see what happens; you can start a new save and run it at ultra speed just to see.
