From the Publisher Are boys harder to potty train? The answer is no! --- Tips & Tricks for Potty Training Boys Boys are not harder to potty train! While studies show that boys commonly potty train later than girls, it does not mean that boys have a harder time with the process (or that you will either!).And the difference in time is a matter of days or months, not years. With both boys and girls, it’s more important to focus on your child’s developmental progress than on their age. After all, each child is different and will achieve potty training in their own time. To Sit or Stand During the early stages of potty training, have your boy pee while sitting on the potty. Why? To keep things simple by teaching him to sit for both urination and bowel movements. Once your child masters sitting on the potty, you can begin to teach him how to pee standing if you’re using a potty chair. However, there’s no rush with this. He can pee sitting for as long as he likes. Target Practice! When you decide to teach your son to urinate while standing, he may enjoy having toilet targets like Cheerios so that he has something to aim for when going potty. You can also use food coloring so that your child can see what color the water turns when their pee makes it into the toilet!
