Ok guys bizarre question: my three year old boy Keegan is mostly potty trained but has asked to be shown how to stand up to go, like 'big people' do. I don't remember my dad teaching me. I've heard from some guys that their dad just went in front of them to show how it's done. I'm not really comfortable with that and would like to save it as a last resort.

So, if any of you remember or were told by your parents after the fact, or if you've taught your own sons, I'd sure appreciate some advice. As Red Green says "we're all in this together."

Thanks,

-'bridge

When I taught my boys it was a lil bit messy the 1st few times but explained they aim like a squirt gun and aim for the hole. They got the hang of it rather quick.

That's how I learned. I can remember my dad and I peeing into the toilet together. Also, that's the way I taught my two boys.

It's kind of weird but I know they sell targets you can put in your toilet for just this purpose. Might help make it somewhat fun for him.

We camped a lot when our sons were little and went pee on trees. Maybe too much so when the wife looked out our town house window to see my son peeing on a tree while talking to a local man.

LMAO @ DeDuBe

I didn't have a Dad growing up, so I have no idea where I learned it from... Kinda funny once you think about it.

Cheerios work great as targets... You can also get the toilet pucks(can't think of what they are called) that go in the back of the toilet that turn the water blue. Then tell him to change the color with his pee.

I was given something to aim at grandpa said here bet you cant hit this. threw a can on the ground and said go at it. But this is coming from a man that instead of changing a poopy diaper. He has the grandkids take off their diaper and would hose them down with the water hose lol. (weak stomache I guess lol)

Definitely take him outside and let him have at it... no mop necessary.
