At least it avoids major fountains of pee :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950861 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:08:26 +0000 looch 1950861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: omg, i can't read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950854 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:04:03 +0000 irene 1950854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: Oh dear, no, he has a mind of his own, he will NOT go unless it is his idea. Even though it is just 1 minute apart (that minute would have been the difference between before boarding and after boarding). Sigh. But thanks for your good luck, I need a ton of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950853 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:03:16 +0000 irene 1950853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Oh I am talking about pooping!! :) Yes we stand on the toilet to pee too now - and we even broke through to the area where he is now willing to poop in public toilets! Just that sometimes he does pee when he poops.... and it depends on how full his bladder is it can be traumatic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950431 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 10:50:01 +0000 enjollah 1950431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: aw good luck on the airplane... I've definitely been there. Have him go right before you board... Hopefully it won't be too bad :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950107 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:22:13 +0000 looch 1950107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, one thing you can try is having him stand on the toilet seat and peeing into the toilet that way. I prefer that he doesn't actually sit on public toilets, especially those in airplanes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950005 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 00:05:33 +0000 irene 1950005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @enjollah: I am just nervous about my plane trip in 2 days. I can only bring so many pair of pants..... But I will try convincing him to keep it in the bowl..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1950000 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:56:04 +0000 enjollah 1950000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: he'll get it eventually.. Or maybe it takes getting pee on his clothes to learn to point his pee pee down next time. My LO has been picky about changing his clothes lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949997 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:47:46 +0000 mrbee 1949997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I would just tell him that if he can keep the pee in the toilet, you'll give him a prize. He can probably figure out the best way to keep it in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949996 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:47:23 +0000 irene 1949996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I can try....... but I wonder if he knows how. Because he does know he should point it down but won't or couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949995 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:46:26 +0000 irene 1949995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: how to bribe? "I'd give you this toy if you let me push your pee pee down?" sounds so wrong lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949984 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:31:46 +0000 enjollah 1949984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tell our LO to point/push it down. I think if he doesn't do it, we just do it so the pee doesn't get everywhere. I would bribe in public situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949981 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:27:36 +0000 mrbee 1949981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Maybe try bribing him with lots of candy if he can keep it all/mostly in the toilet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949977 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:18:37 +0000 irene 1949977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes i tried.... sometimes i succeed but most of the time he refused to have me touching him .... which is good for him to protect his body (!) but sucks to be me.</p> <p>ETA: he also won't let me hold his hand to point his thingy down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949974 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:15:15 +0000 mrbee 1949974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Can you just point it down for him, until he gets the hang of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-boys-moms-or-dads#post-1949973 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:10:40 +0000 irene 1949973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When your DS goes to a public potty for #2. They'd sit down, right? What do you do if sometimes they pee at the same time, but obviously there is no pee-guard on the toilet, and pee is shooting out? </p> <p>I know you could tell them to "point it down", but I am asking about what if they are freshly trained, and don't really know what exactly you are asking them to do, or have the physically ability to do it. My DS (2.5 years) knows that he should "point it down" because that's how the teachers tell him, but he would press on his thingy in a way that pee would probably be squating out instead of gently pointing his thing down. So I don't know what I can do.</p> <p>What do you do? </p>
