Toilet training boys comes easier for some children and feels like pulling teeth for others. Your child’s success in developing their skills for using the toilet depends on your attitude about the whole thing. Like anything else in parenting it requires you being tolerant and consistent for them to triumph. Approach toilet-training as a game that’s exciting and fun. They’re learning and it shouldn’t be turned into something you dread having to do. From a toddler’s view, using the potty is for big boys and it’s a sign they’re growing. This could be a reason why the desire to stay little makes some children more unwilling to learn potty training.
Toilet Training Boys Advice
• Make sure you son is physically and emotionally ready. You can figure between 18 and 24 months you’ll start noticing signs that he’s ready. If he’s not you will only be wasting your time.
• Start out by toilet training boys to sit down. It’s a lot easier and then later show him how to stand to pee.
• Make sure you have a regular routine set up. Usually the best time for a bowel movement is about twenty minutes after they eat. Let your son sit on the potty chair or toilet after meals. Starting after breakfast is a good way for him to get into a daily potty routine.
• Help him associate between the feeling to have to go and what to tell you. As soon as you notice he’s about to go, ask him "Go poo-poo? Or pee? Tell mommy or daddy. You are teaching him when he feels the urge, he can say the words.
• Don’t let you son become dependent diapers or pull ups. Use cloth training pants as often as possible. Diapers have been made to be so absorbent that boys and girls are not uncomfortable after they have wet or messed themselves.
