should boys be potty trained at 31/2 years old , since my girl was by 3 yrs old?

Answer 1

I would think so....but some kids just learn faster than other...and I have heard that boys are harder to train that girls but I don't know...mine are not that old yet....

Answer 2

Well I think boys should be potty trained before they are 3 to 3 1/2 years old. My son is 22 months is already using the potty. Not all the time but he knows when he has to go and will tell me. It really just depends on the child. The best way to know if their body is ready is if they can go all night without wetting their diaper. Thats when I knew my son was ready only that but one day he just ran into the potty and went. lol. Good luck!

Answer 3

Girls almost always potty train before Boys. I have heard Boys wont potty train till 4-5 years most at the age use pull ups. I remember when my son was young I wondered the same thing and my Doc. said no worries little girls always train at a younger age

Answer 4

Supposedly, boys are harder to potty train than girls. I don't know exactly why that is. However, my kids were trained at two, but I had only girls. Three and a half seems a little old to start potty training, even the most stubborn of little boys. I think I'd introduce him to the pot at an earlier age, and let him wear the pull-ups like they advertise on TV. Then if he does have an accident it's not as bad as changing a diaper or training pants. He can take them off himself if they get wet, and put on dry ones. The pullups won't soak through on his clothes. As for bowel training, most moms say they put their kids on the pot after they eat, which is the most likely time they have to go. Again, the disposable pull-ups seem to work better than either diapers or training pants. Even at two, kids are aware when they've had an accident, and it makes them feel more grown up when they can change their own pants, and they will change them because they hate the feel of wet or dirty pants even at age two. I wouldn't wait till three and a half if it were me.

my twin boys were pretty late to be trained. One was at 3 1/4, the other at 3 1/2. It's all just about their personal readiness. I don't believe that you can force a child into it. I felt like it was never going to happen, then all of sudden they were ready one day.
