When Potty Training Boys Standing Is Better Than Sitting

In a recent study that looked at potty training boys, it was determined that boys who are potty trained standing up, are potty trained on average 2 months faster than a boy who is trained sitting down.

They also found that boys showed more interest in potty training when given the option of standing. The article that I read this info in also suggested that when potty training boys you should take advantage of one of the new potty training urinals to facilitate the boys standing. I would have thought you could have just used a stool for them to stand on - but the researchers pointed out that stability is a key component to successfully toilet training boys, and a stool undermines some of that stability.

I’ve read that on average that boys are finished potty training 4 months later than girls - usually after their third birthday. So by training them standing up - you might cut the difference between boys and girls down significantly. Again - potty training boys is a little different than potty training a girl - so make sure you study up if you had a girl first, because it's going to be different this time around.
