Should my son pee sitting down or standing up?

Many parents wonder: should my son learn to stand right away, or sit first? The answer is simple: start sitting down.

In this section, you'll get exactly what you need to get started right away, step by step.

Start by sitting

This teaches your son to completely empty his bladder and bowels.

Why this works: less chance of accidents and constipation.

Make the switch playful

If he wants to stand later, he can do it with his dad or an older brother, for example.

Why this works: imitation motivates and makes it fun.

Use a stool or target

When standing to pee, a stool and sometimes a playful “target” in the toilet help.

Why this works: this trains focused peeing without making a mess.

Let your child choose when they are ready to pee standing up. This keeps the process positive.
