Question by Due Feb 25th with a girl!: Does anybody have any potty training tips for this problem?
My son likes sitting on the potty and has peed in it a few times. My problem is that he’ll sit on it for a good 5 minutes, but when he gets up he’ll walk off and end up peeing on himself. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Instead of having him sit for 5 minutes, only allow him 1 minute of sitting on the potty time every 30-45-60min or so.(however often his pattern is) If he does not go during that minute, take him back to the potty every five minutes or so until he goes. It may take some time for him to connect the idea that going to the potty means it is time to potty, but it will come.
Good luck, this time in a toddler’s life can be really difficult for both of you.
Presuming he’s not already 14 years old or something… Give him time. Be encouraging, but not too much. Let him see how the grownups do it. Don’t pressure him.
My son went on the potty a few times and my husband and I got all excited. He stopped for a while. Our reaction, even though it was positive, was too much for him. Treat it like it’s nice that he’s doing it, but it’s not so important that you have to bend your life around it. It’s just a normal development, and he will experiment with it, and not do it perfectly for a while. He will get it. Raising kids takes patience and this is a perfect opportunity for you to practice that.
Have him pee standing up. Best thing to start him off peeing standing up, is to lift up the potty just below his willy so it can’t miss, and make encouraging noises to go. When he does a few like that, you can leave the potty on the floor, or use the toilet, but you’ll need to teach him to aim which means you aiming it for him to start with. Peeing will be fun for him standing up cos he can see what’s happening and more likely to go. Good luck.
