Potty training boys is not the easiest thing in the world, and there are many reasons for this. Boys have to stand up instead of sit down, but they also have to sit down to go number 2. Boys have to master both ways, and it can get confusing at times for them and frustrating for parents as well. Boys may also need to get the hang of how things work in the bathroom for them, and if you are trying to tackle this battle, here are a few helpful tips.
- Have them tackle the task sitting down. Once they have mastered this, have them try standing up. Boys may have bowel movements as well as urine at the same time at least once a day, so you may want to try it sitting down first to avoid a mess.
- Boys may have a hard time learning to balance themselves and go, especially if they are not too steady on their feet. Try to balance him so he doesn’t fall over while trying to urinate, as this is the last thing you need. For this reason, train him while he sits down until he is more stable.
- When he reaches the point where he can go by himself, train him to stand up. Little boys for the most part want to go like older men, and that’s why you should have dad or brothers go with them to show them how it’s done.
- You can also try teaching him to aim for the potty chair. Many parents have put Cheerios or other ringed cereals in the toilet for their little boys to aim at. This can help them learn to properly aim.
Potty training boys can be made easier with these tips, and just make sure that when your little one is learning, the toilet seat stays up and doesn’t come tumbling down. This will cause a large and rather wet mess in the bathroom. When he is done, show him to wash his hands and then to put the seat down.
Be patient and remember that your son will learn to use the potty even if it seems like an impossible dream now.
