Also, as a woman, you have the disadvantage of not feeling comfortable or knowledgeable enough to teach her to pee standing up, but I have a solution for that too.

Some sources suggest that children can only be potty trained when they are ready, and that the age can range from 2 to 3 years old. In fact, some older children even have trouble going to the bathroom.

But there are many things you can do to influence them in a positive way so that they feel proud to go to the bathroom on their own.

1. Get them used to a routine. She doesn’t start dragging them and putting them in the potty when she thinks they should go.

Instead, you should start by putting them on a potty for the first 2 days, regardless of whether or not they need to go to the bathroom. This is really only effective if you plan on doing it throughout the day.

Potty training a child isn’t difficult when you get him used to sitting on the toilet or a potty seat, but the goal is to be consistent about it.

Young children have never experienced this before, and they certainly haven’t made the connection that this is what people are supposed to do.

2. Make it an event! Potty training might be stressful to you and you might associate it with “homework,” but he doesn’t feel anything about it. This is the perfect time to influence him about how amazing going to the bathroom is.

If he does his job, brag about it, give him a reward, and really show him how exciting it is to flush the toilet and watch the mess go away (even for you it’s not that nice).

Brag about him (to him) to his grandparents, your spouse, and even his older brothers and/or sisters (if they’re the supportive type).

“Wow! You went to the bathroom like your big brother! You’re a big boy!”… usually works pretty well.

If this is your first child, that’s fine. You can still do this. Make sure he feels like he’s getting “BIG.”

3. Do you have trouble teaching him to urinate while standing? That is quite normal. Children get excited when they realize that they can propel their urine, and it may seem like fun, but at first they have no control over this.

Potty training kids is a problem here, because it can get a bit messy.

To help him, give him a target and try to get him to aim at it. This makes it more of a game, and the games are just as fun!

A Cheerio works fine, but there are even targets you can buy that sit on the toilet, have a fun picture and a little hole for them to aim at.

If you can, try to get a male role model to show it to him. This will also help to better understand the importance of doing this the way children do it.
