How do I get my son to stand when he wees?
7 Parent's Answers
My ds refused to sit to pee, we ended up purchasing the peter potty urinal. It is adjustable to their height. He loves it. It was actually really was helpful in potty training a boy to have him pee in a more natural position for him. You'll have to have his father show him how boys pee, considering we just don't have the right equipment! That was really helpful and my ds thought it was cool that he could do it just like daddy. Good luck!
Hi there I have 3 & 6 year old grandsons the older one stands and has always wanted to, but the 3 year old, he changes his mind like the weather! Some days he stands... Other times he sits down! I have asked him why he is sitting, he just says " because I want to!" If I am honest some kids don't potty train easily so I would probably stop worrying about how he is using the toilet and be happy he actually is! Best wishes!
Just let him be if where he is comfortable. He is just a kid so that is just normal. I'm sure as time goes by he will eventually stand when peeing.
Just show him how to handle himself its not always easy but mine did it very well while standing outside in time he understood thats how its done
If your son is three years old and cannot stand and urinate, you may need to consult his doctor to evaluate the situation. There may be medical reasons that affect his ability to stand and urinate properly. Be sure to explain this problem to the doctor and describe the symptoms accurately. There may be different possibilities including problems with the muscles, nerves, or urinary system. The doctor will be able to assess the condition and direct you to the necessary steps. Until medical advice, you can continue to encourage your son to use the toilet in ways that you consider appropriate and comfortable for him. You may try using positive stimulation such as rewards and praise when he tries to sit on the toilet or urinate. However, the main priority should be to get a medical evaluation to ensure there is not a health problem that needs attention.
It's not uncommon for young boys to prefer sitting down to pee, especially when they're still learning. At three years old, your son is still developing his preferences and abilities, so it's okay to let him sit if that's what he's comfortable with for now.
Encouraging him to stand is fine, but it's important not to force the issue or make him feel pressured. You can continue to offer gentle encouragement and make it a fun and positive experience, but ultimately, let him choose what feels right for him.
As he gets older and sees other boys standing to pee, he may naturally become more interested in trying it himself. In the meantime, praise him for using the toilet, whether sitting or standing, and continue to support him as he learns and grows.

Honestly, I’d just let him sit for now. It sounds like he’s more comfortable that way, and forcing it might just make him resist even more. Kids often figure things out in their own time.
