Consistency is the Key When Potty Training Boys

Here's another great tip for potty training boys in that article in the Asbury Park Press that I read.

Though it might be a big milestone - potty training boys can also be a trying time in both you and your toddler’s lives. But that’s why every little detail counts, every little tip can make the process that much easier.

Consistency is a big factor. You and your husband might be working really hard at home and on family outings in your toilet training efforts. But what about the times when your toddler isn’t with you? Is grandma helping? His preschool teacher? Is he seeing that this is a process everywhere, and not just with mommy and daddy?

Enlisting the help of grandma and aunts and uncles can be a big help to your efforts when potty training boys. And don’t forget older siblings - are they helping and showing a good example? Usually, children with older siblings finish potty training earlier than children without older siblings.
