You have to know beforehand that potty training for boys will have a different plan compared to girls. Based on previous studies, girls learn faster than boys. Boys are sometimes lazy to change their habits, so expect that they will be on their nappies until the age of four or five.

Below are some tips to practice when it comes to potty training for boys:

1. Determine that your son is ready before you potty train him. Do not be on a hurry to teach him if there's some resistance from your child. If your son is curious on going to the bathroom; that would be an indication that he's ready to be toilet trained.

2. Establish a clear potty training plan. Be sure that you have training pants, a potty seat and pull-ups available for your boy.

3. Toddlers learn by imitation. Let him watch and learn by letting your husband teach him how to do it the proper way. It's a sort of bonding moment for them at the same time a learning activity for your son. Your son will eventually follow what his father is doing.

4. Never raised your voice or scold him when your son did not follow exactly what you are teaching him. Educate him by letting him know his mistakes and teach him again the right way to do things.

5. Reward him when he does admirable and correct toilet manners and habits.

6. A child, especially a boy, will tend to move a lot or become impatient on the toilet seat. Sing a song or read his favorite stories to let him stay on the potty.

There is no time period when it comes to the readiness of your little boy when it comes to potty training. Do not pressure him. Just be aware of his needs and behavior. Once, he's ready to be independent, potty training will be an easy task for the parents and a wonderful milestone for their son.
