Potty Training Boys – 3 Reasons You Should Start Potty Training A Boy Sitting Down

Potty training boys can be pretty difficult, even more so than potty training girls, simply because they have more steps they have to learn. This article will discuss 3 reasons to start potty training a boy sitting down.

1. Much Less Confusion: Despite learning how to urinate standing up or sitting down, they will still have to learn how to go to the bathroom sitting down when they have to have a bowel movement. So it is often recommended that they learn how to do both sitting down first, that way they don’t have to learn two different skills at the same time.

2. Fewer Messes: After they have mastered urinating standing up, it is likely you will have more messes to clean up as they perfect their aim. This is a natural part of the process and may make things a little more difficult for you if it is done in combination with simply learning to use the potty. If you potty train a boy sitting down first, there will be fewer messes to deal with which will make things go smoother for both of you.

3. Much Faster Results: Doing one step at a time will allow you to see faster results for the whole process. Then once they have learned how to use the potty successfully, tackling the next step to pee standing won’t be nearly as difficult. Messes from the next step are going to happen, but they should be much less of an issue since diapers will no longer be in the picture.

In this article we discussed 3 reasons to begin potty training a boy sitting down. Boys have more steps to get through than girls, and because of this it can be easier on them to first learn to use the potty sitting down. This will lead to fewer messes in the beginning and most likely faster results for the entire process.

Potty training toddlers is a taxing endeavor; it can take many weeks of perseverance and patience. The end result is worth the trials you both will go through and the above steps will hopefully help ease you through the transition from diapers to underwear.
