Great question! Let’s talk boys first. The big question we often get asked is about whether boys should sit or stand when they are first learning. When just starting it can be tricky for your child to accurately interpret the feeling from their tummy area- is it a poo, a wee or both?! We recommend starting off sitting for both wees and poos and then change to standing for wees when they are better interpreting these internal sensations (and develop their aim!).
For toilet/ potty training girls the big tip we need to remember is teaching to wipe from front to back. This prevents germs from their bottom causing infections.
