He will pee before his bath or when he sees his brother pee, but I do not know how to start with him. Is standing to pee better for boys? I heard it takes longer when boys pee sitting (which my husband cannot believe mothers do this to their boys).

It helped my son to potty train standing up so he could see what was happening and connect the sensations. When a friend of mine recommended a potty training step stool, I was skeptical it would make a difference. I could not believe my son and daughter's reaction to The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. My kids immediately climbed up on this stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. My kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use. And it really is wonderful having your kids independently use the toilet on their own. The handles make all the difference! My son and daughter felt very secure and the sides makes them feel comfortable and closed in when they use the toilet.
I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you

Have your son turns into aware of the potty with none strain to participate in. If you permit your youngster see you utilize the bathroom, he's going to recognise what it is for and would possibly broaden a want to imitate this grown-up undertaking. If he sit down on it and even faux to make use of it, it implies that this early curiosity is a signal that your youngster is studying approximately toiletting, but it surely does not imply that he's capable to take the next move. You could make tactful recommendations and use flattery, however do not exhibit disapproval of failure. If your youngster does no longer sit down at the potty, Don't attempt to make him keep to any extent further than he wishes to; that is a definite strategy to make the potty appear like a punishment. You will recognise while he's capable (almost always at 2 and a part months) If you wait till he's capable you can also believe extra relaxed enabling bathroom coaching to transport ahead at its possess speed.

What does your husband have against sitting down to pee? It isn't like they are going to break anything off for God's sake.
All the replies about taking your child every hour are right on the money. Get him into the habit of sitting AND standing so that he gets used to each sensation. There will probably be a couple of accidents, but don't be discouraged. As long as your child knows how to tell you that he has pee pee'd or look uncomfortable when he is wet, then you know he is ready to start training. If he isn't ready, you will know!

I trained my 22 month daugher when she was 18 months. She LOVES Dora, so I got her a Dora training potty and when she would pee her diaper, I'd say "Now you can't go on an adventure with Dora." Soon she'd go to her big-girl potty. Now she's potty trained. I suggest you take his favorite TV character and do the same.

hi have 2 sons one fully trained going on 3 years now one who is in the process of finishing. Both of mine learned sitting on the tolit and yes my oldest stands now. Tried standing with the youngest one and that didnt work very well instead of peeing in the tolit which was where he was aimed it went straight up( still havent figured out how that one happened).and boys are harder to train either sitting or standing up, dont count on being fully done before age 4 .

you have to be kidding me. you have an older child but dont know how to potty train
i would start with sitting. sit him on the potty once an hour every hour, standing comes much later when he understands the urge to poop.
put him in underwear at home only reserve diapers or pull ups for naps and bedtime.
take him ro the bathroom as soon as he wakes up and make him sit there then put underwear one. and watch him closely. household chores other than meals can wait. take him potty once an hour every hour and make him sit for at least 5 minutes

Take him to potty every hour. Find something for him to stand on while he goes.
