Sorry but I have never potty trained a boy, so I have no advice. I hear that boys are alot harder than girls. Good luck!  |

first thing, sit him on the potty and remind him to push his thing into the toilet, if you catch my drift  make it a game with him. Make a huge deal about anything he can manage to do bathroom wise. I will warn you that boys are nasty, and they dont mind wearing stinky clothes.Boys potty train when they are good and ready and they are quite sneaky about it. I worked and worked with my oldest son when he was 3 trying to get him trained. I found out he was using the toilet after i grilled the whole family about who was the smart alack who wasnt flushing the toilet. When no one fessed up, i went around the corner and there he sat, perched big as you please, on the toilet doing his business!  |

I don't have a boy, but did work at a daycare for eight years. So here's what I learned. First, it's up to you on the stand up-sit down method. We always trainded them to just get to the potty, and most of them did better with hte sit down method to start with. Then when they are getting a hang of it. Get you some cheerios, and throw them in the water, make it a game, have him "shoot" the cheerio. He'll have fun, and improve his aim at the same time. Just take it at his pace, and good luck! Hope this helps..  |

don't worry so much about teaching him to "aim"... just work on getting him to "poke it down" when he goes... it gets too confusing when they are just learning to teach when to stand and when to sit... after they have all the mechanics of the deed worked out, you can work on teaching aim. I recommend NOT using pull-ups...they're just tapeless diapers. cloth is better and has much faster results. It sounds like your on the right track. Once you get the idea planted... it's the "timing" that presents the challenges..He'll start recognizing the signs that he has to go and get there in time. Good Luck! p.s. don't expect any poop to happen in the toilet anytime soon though... that usually takes quite a bit longer for them to give up   |

Sorry I have a girl...........Don't know but when I worked at a day care right out of high school there was a little boy who was potty trained at 2 years old and he would stand up but his mom was a single mom and she had to teach him everything (plus he had a sisiter) but he sat down to start out with and eventually he would stand up. He done it both ways. They learn pretty good. It won't take him long.  |
