I’m in the process of potty training by 2.5 yr old son. I’ve been able to get him to pee a few times and even poop once…
But I’m getting so frustrated cus all he wants to do now is play with his penis. I dont want to get sprayed with pee, or him pee all over the bathroom, and I’m not sure if he can pee while doing so cus he’s not relaxed and is in play/discovery mode. I’ve tried holding his hands but he squirms and i end up just getting frustrated. What can I do???

My 4 year old likes to play with his, too. But I tell him, “Point your penis down! You don’t want to pee in your face!” This of course cracks him up and he does so. We are still sitting down to pee since he can’t reach all toilets yet without help.

When I potty trained my son (he will be 3 in July) I used stickers in his potty that would appear once peed on so I think that helped me never having this problem. He always had to pee on something to see what was there. Now he just climbs up his stool and pees on big toilet whether it’s sitting or standing. When he would pee in tub id tell him to aim at the drain and made a game of it.
