The
long awaited time is finally here; you are getting ready and preparing yourself
for the start date of your son’s potty training. Potty training lessons for your boys can be
quite overwhelming since there is so much to remember and learn. The
information is so much, the time is elapsing quickly and you want your son to
have a successful potty training transition.
Strange and weird counsels have been streaming
from different people on what to do and that you have to potty your son other
ways for this process to be a success. There are so many potty training myths
and they could easily mislead one if they were to be taken serious.
With the new technology came different tools to make potty
training for your son easier and fun too. With the internet came rich
information on potty training for boys and the different ways to go about it.
As a parent, you will want to get to know all the tips, read articles on potty
training and there you will have all your questions answered.
One of the most intriguing questions asked by
many parents is that they wants to know whether to potty train their sons to
pee when standing up or sitting down. It is however without a doubt that there
is no recommended way that a boy toddler should be potty trained, but the most
recommended way to potty train your son is they should start by urinating when
sitted down.
The
chief reason for this recommendation is to ensure that things are kept simple
and the boys learn how to both urinate and control bowel movements. Also this
method was recommended so as to train the boys on how to aim properly. Later on
when the boy is a bit mature you can train them how to urinate when standing.
Many
parents believe that potty training their toddler sons includes not only how
training them how to urinate in the potty or the toilet but also making bowel
movements in the same. Your toddler will have to learn the potty when sitting
because it’s the only way for them pass poop.
Most parents
would agree that potty training your toddler son includes not only teaching him
to urinate in a potty or toilet, but also to make bowel movements in the potty
or toilet. And for bowel movement training, you will have to teach your toddler
son to sit down on a potty or the toilet.
Potty training
for boys is a simple process which starts when the boys have felt body
awareness and an ability to connect with a feeling of fullness and the need to
pass a poop or to urinate. This kind of awareness can be felt from a tender age
of as early as age 1, when your son has this feeling, he simply poops on his
diaper and pants. It is at this juncture that you as the parent want him to
learn that he has to stop this and start using the potty or the toilet. This is
where again you train him how to remove his clothes and sit or stand on the
potty depending on what he is feeling at that particular moment.
During the
training period, you will need a potty chair, a urinal or potty seat. You will
want to know why you need all these equipment for just one boy. Well the answer
is quite simple, when using the potty; it will probably be too low to the
ground to use for urinating when the boy is standing. A urinal is more suitable
for boys who would want to pee when standing and potty seat is for the bowel
movement. A step stool will only be required if you and your boy decide to use
the toilet for both urinating and bowel movement. Here you as the parent will
have to teach your boy how to remove and lift the toilet seat.
Having said all
this, by the age of two to three, children become will become interested in the
notion of gender and boys will begin to emulate their fathers or older
brothers. Do not be shocked to find that your child wants to be like
daddy or like his older brother and when he
persists that he has urinate while standing and not sitting. If this
should happen, then let him stand. It is not worth a power struggle. Work on
teaching him to urinate first and then work on bowel movements.
Last, but not
least, if your child is in day care, then make sure that you teach him
at home the same way they are doing it in school. Some day care insists on
teaching the boys to pee when standing and thus the same protocol should be
followed at home
