    If you're wondering how to potty train boys, take heart because you are not alone, and there are lots of tools and guides available to help you learn. Rather than having to rely on your own ingenuity and a little advice from relatives who've already trained their kids, you can find all sorts of information and products you can use to help potty train your child. From toys and visual aids to DVDs and books, you're going to get a lot of assistance in this process.

    First are the visual aids. These can help in potty training your child by allowing you to give him demonstrations of the actual process of using the bathroom. Many organizations make picture books that allow you to show him what it looks like for a boy to go potty, and what's actually happening. Other manufacturers carry this help beyond just pictures, and make potty training boy dolls that recreate the process. You give water to the doll, and soon it comes out the other end. You can show your boy how the doll sits on the potty and goes to the bathroom.

    Other products that help potty train are on the practical side. These… Continue reading

    When you start boy potty training, keep in mind that there will sometimes be subtle differences between that sort of training and what you might do for a girl. It isn't that the two genders are being stereotyped, because after all, most of the basic methods will be the same in either case. But potty training a boy does involve certain extra elements that usually don't appear when you're trying to train a girl. So you'll need to keep these in mind, and not expect boys and girls to be exactly alike.

    With boy potty training, it may be necessary to wait a little longer to start. Girls in general just seem ready to make this change somewhat sooner than boys are. But this doesn't suggest the girls are smarter, because as well as understanding the concepts, the child needs to be both physically and emotionally prepared. For this reason, potty training readiness may come more quickly for girls, who tend to mature emotionally a little sooner than boys do. And a boy's physiology may not develop the ability to stay dry through the night as quickly as a girl's does.

    But when you do finally get down to… Continue reading

    You may feel panicky and ready to grab any help with potty training you can get. But when you remember that almost every human being in society has survived their own potty training and helped their child get through it too, maybe you can relax. In this information age, there will never be a lack of experienced counsel and information when you need it. But remember first of all that the person who can guide you best is the child himself. When he's able to verbalize that he needs to go, that's the first sign he may be ready to toilet train.

    Once your toddler can notify you that he needs to go potty, or in some cases that he's already done so, that's a good sign of potty training readiness, because it means he's grasping the concept itself. Take some time to talk about the process with him, to get him more and more used to the idea. If you have bought books to read to him on the subject, then they will also help with his potty training as he sees pictures that allow him to make the connection between the bathroom process and himself.

    Boys and potty training can provide quite an adventure. Some experiences are common for girls and boys, while other matters are particular just to boys. In most cases, when you're dealing with a boy, you have to do certain aspects of the potty training twice. Girls can be taught both urination and defecation while sitting down. But whether you initially teach your boy to urinate while sitting down, or try to teach him standing up from the beginning, potty training a boy will involve both postures. So that's the first question. Will you begin with him sitting down or standing up?

    General potty training advice seems to be that it's wisest to start the boy sitting down for both functions. This has nothing to do with his being a "sissy" or learning to "pee like a girl," and should never be thought of that way. Remember that the entire process of learning to use the toilet is already a big thing for boys, and potty training only becomes more complicated if they have to learn too much at once. Learning to sit for bowel movements and then stand up and aim for urination may simply be too many new tasks… Continue reading
