Potty Training Boys – 3 Reasons To Start Potty Training A Boy Sitting Down
Potty training boys can be much harder than potty training girls, usually just because they have more steps to learn. This article will discuss 3 reasons to begin 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. Less Messes: After they have graduated to urinating standing up you are going to have more messes to deal with as they learn to aim. This part is unavoidable, so for the both of you it might just be easier to first potty train them sitting down so you can avoid these messes and focus on the task of first learning how to use the potty.
3. Quicker Results: When you tackle one step at a time, you will most likely see faster results for the whole process. After having successfully learned to use the potty, mastering the skill of standing to pee should be a piece of cake. Messes for this next process are inevitable, but they won’t be in combination with normal accidents that occur for the normal potty training experience.
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.
