Has your daughter ever seen your husband standing in front of the toilet peeing? Has your son ever seen you sitting down to pee? Did they ask anything about why boys stand and girls sit?

Yes, I have been there. I have a 6 year old son and my daughter is 2 1/2. She is contsantly barging into the bathroom on us and asked me the other day about her brother.We don't have a lock on our bathroom door and paln to get one soon. To answer you, yes. I told her that her brother pees standing up casue he has an outty and has to sit cause hers is an inny and she would make a mess if she tryed to stand up. Well, she tryed to stand up the one day and understood full well. If you talk to your kids now about the terms of vagina and penis, then they won't have to hear it some where else. It's important that kids know that potty time is private and need to give others in the house hold privacy. Also, I talked to my kids about private body parts, ie boobs and bottoms. When I was in the grocery store on day, my son was 2 and yelling "booooobies"!!! It was a bit embarassing , but I had to pull the cart over and remind him that it was private to me . Don't put it off, the longer you wait , the more confused they will get. You woud be amazed at what kids understand at such an early age. Give them credit for being so smart and don't cover up the issue, might give them the idea that thier body is bad or that thiers private parts are bad. They have both learned to respect each other private time in the bathroom, and as for the 2 year old, she is still trying to remeber to make sure the bathroom is empty before she just barges in. Good luck to you and remeber it is a learning process for all partys involved.

My daughter has accidentally seen my husband being ( she open the unlocked bathroom door but he has his back faing the door) She didn't think it was a big deal becuase she has a younger brother that she has seen. My son has seen me sitting on the toilet and has never asked why we do it differnt. I have seen my daughter who is 5 trying to sit the opposit way onthe toilet I ask her why and she told me she wanted to pretent to pee like a boy.

No! No! No! you are the grownup! communicate on your husband approximately this habit and decrease the time the toddler is spending on the ipod touch, notwithstanding happend to toys and interactive play? Oh goodness. Childeren want self-discipline so as that they could mature. You and ur husband could prepare him that he isn't any longer an toddler, yet dont be harsh given which you dont want him to be afraid. If he keeps together with his procedures then prepare him self-discipline like an grownup. he isn't any longer a toddler. At that age childeren could be interacting and asking questions. instruction manual him by those differences and dont in simple terms enable him use technologies!

My husband wouldn't let our daughter see him pee, but it got to the stage where as he never close the toilet door she was bound to see him eventually, she's 8 and my boy is 6. He's seen me, you know how it is, the minute you go to pee and shut the door the kids are pounding on it to come in. we've never hidden it and they know what goes on

i have two boys and yes i have been asked that question by my three yearold. I simply told him that boys have a penis so they need to stand to pee and girls have a vagina and they need to sit and pee. I don't think that keeping things hidden or lying to a child is good for them . Sooner or later they will hear the truth i would rather them hear it from me.

yes....I have a 3 year old. I just told him it's because a boy has an "outie" and a girl has an "innie" funny as that sounds. He stoped questioning me about it though.
