Potty Training Twins
If you have twins or children of a similar age you may feel that potty training them together may seem like a time-saver, but it doesn’t always work out that way, as your children may approach readiness at different times.
A key point to remember is that not all children are ready at the same time [...]
Parents Of Both Potty Trained Boys And Girls- Will You Tell Me The Differences You Experienced Potty Training?
I want to hear how much different potty training a boy is than a girl. I have a potty trained girl and am getting ready to potty train my boy. Was it messier? Was it harder to tell when he was about to go? What about aiming? I am planning on teaching him to sit down all the time at first, but …won’t aiming still be an issue? I want to hear your experiences… mostly potty training boys.

I didn’t potty train my daughter, when she was ready to use the toilet she told me she wanted to sit on the toilet, I put her on it. The first couple of weeks she didn’t do anything, just sat, but finally she went, I kept diapers on her since she had not had a Bowel movement on the toilet and I didn’t feel like washing out underwear. She also wore diapers at nighttime because little one’s bladders aren’t developed enough to hold their water all night long. These are CHILDREN people not mineature adults their internal organs don’t work like ours do. Once she hit kindergarten there were no more diapers and no more accidents. If you wait until the CHILD is ready to be on the toilet things will go much more smoothly than trying to force the child.
Replygirls are easier to potty train
ReplyBoys usually aren’t receptive to potty training until much later than girls. Don’t try to push it you’ll just make it harder.
ReplyMost potty chairs have an attachable shield to prevent spraying all over the floor. Or you, or the shower curtain, or just about everywhere else but the pot.
In my experience the children, both boys and girls, are better motivated to use the facilities once they realize what is going on in that little room at the end of the hall. In other words let them in when you use the porcelain pond. As a kid’s primary form of learning is imitation, it follows they will want to imitate adults and older siblings.
I do not have a girl but my son was potty trained at 2. DON”T try to use the regular toilet(I’m sure you already knew that) use a small potty and have him sit down and maybe look at a book or you can even read to him. Just entertain him while he is sitting there. Take him to the bathroom at least every 2 hours and repeat this process. Let him sit for at least 5 minutes and let him know it’s not a punishment (that’s why he has book to entertain himself). Stay with him, and explain that he is a big boy now. I used pull-ups with my son so he could easily be changed when he did have an accident. But for the most part he didn’t want to be wet anymore and taking him every two hours he would usually go pee. Pooping took longer but after a week or so he really got the hang of it and I could tell when he needed to go or he would go to the potty himself. He probably won’t like it at first and may even reject the potty completely. But just stick with it and after the first few days pass it will get easier. Hope this helps and good luck!
Replygirls are easier but boys are more fun to teach if you want a boy to pee standing up put some cheerios in the potty and tell him to shoot them or take him outside and let him water the lawn
ReplyOur daughter was a bit harder than our son.
ReplyWe fought hard with her, she just did not seem to want to learn, then we went through a period of bed-wetting, but she is a heavy sleeper and we ended up cutting her fluids off two hours before we put her to bed. The son, he was easier, but I believe that it was because he had his sister as a role model. Once he started, no issues. He even would wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I know this because he would leave the light on.
