Potty-training a boy- advice/tips?

I have a boy, he is 1 year 6months old. When is a good time to potty-train him? My daughter she was like 15 months when i started training her. Can someone give me some good tips of how to do this. Please dont tell me to put a cerial in the pot and let him aim at it b/c he will just want to grap it out. I have tried to get my husband to take him with him and show him how its done, but he's always gone and most of the time he wont bc he's afraid of peeing on him (lol). He sits down on the pot like a girl does, b/c he watches me and my daughter go. Is it too early? Any good advice would be appreciated. Thanks

well I would have a serious talk with my husband because this is part of being a father . I know I had two boys and my brothers taught them because my husband was either out of the picture or he just was not around . Your husband needs to step up and be a father and teach his son the things a man should be teaching his son . Seriously talk with your husband .
Reply:Nothign wrong with little boys learnign to pee sitting down. It's how my 19 month old is learning. They arent really good at aiming it yet anyhow-some even GROWN men I swear cant aim!! Just let him lead as to when it is time. My son has just this past week started tellgin me he needs to go-but FAR from every tiem or even every day yet.
Reply:I didn't get my boy trained till 3. If he will sit on the potty then that is great. When he is old enough to understand that he has a penis and daddy has one too and he stands up Nature will take it's course. He will want to be just like him.
Reply:let him show you he is ready first... boys are harder to train then girls and normally most are not ready till after 2 years old, some closer to 3

Seriously. I am the mother of 5, 3 girls, 2 boys...and aunt to 18 nephews...


My girls, and neices, were about 15 months.


Boys are definately harder to potty train than girls!


They are not even ready until about 2 and a half, 3 years old!


Don't force him! It will be an uphill battle!


Introduce the potty at about 2, then let it go. When dad is home, let him go in, etc.


Good luck!
Reply:My son will turn 3 in Jan. He sits down too. I've heard a lot of little boys learn this way first and then progress to standing. I swore I would never reward with food but I really wanted to get this done. So now he gets 1 m%26amp;m for going #1 and will get 2 m%26amp;m's when he finally does that! Of course a lot praise goes a long way. Most boys it takes a few months so just be very consistent which I know is hard to do! Good luck!
Reply:I think he is still kinda young. Maybe once he is like over 2 yrs then you might want to start trainnig him. Girls always learn faster than boys so you might want to wait a little.
