Potty training boys can be much harder than potty training girls, usually just because they have more steps to learn. This article will discuss 3 reasons to begin potty training a boy sitting down.

1. Much Less Confusion: Despite learning how to urinate standing up or sitting down, they will still have to learn how to go to the bathroom sitting down when they have to have a bowel movement. So it is often recommended that they learn how to do both sitting down first, that way they don't have to learn two different skills at the same time.

This part is unavoidable, so for the both of you it might just be easier to first potty train them sitting down so you can avoid these messes and focus on the task of first learning how to use the potty.

3. Quicker Results: When you tackle one step at a time, you will most likely see faster results for the whole process. After having successfully learned to use the potty, mastering the skill of standing to pee should be a piece of cake. Messes for this next process are inevitable, but they won't be in combination with normal accidents that occur for the normal potty training experience.

In this article we looked at 3 reasons to start potty training a boy sitting down. Boys have more to learn than girls do, because of this sitting down during the process is less confusing for them. The benefits are fewer messes in the beginning and faster results since tackling one step at a time is much easier on both of you.

While the end result is definitely worth it, the difficulty during the process can be enough to frustrate anyone. Hopefully the steps mentioned above will help you to make the transition from diapers to underwear.
