It may help if your child sits on the potty while you are using the toilet. Children often follow parents into the bathroom. This may be one time they are willing to use the potty. Initially, teach boys to sit down for passing urine, as, at first, it is difficult to control starting and stopping while standing. Boys will try to stand to urinate when they see other boys standing.
Some children learn by pretending to teach a doll to go potty.
Make this teaching fun for your child. Make going to the potty a part of your child's daily routine, such as first thing in the morning, after meals and naps, and before going to bed. You may want to start using tr aining pants. Wearing diapers once potty training has been started may be confusing for the child. If your child has an accident while in training pants, do not punish.
