@pastemoo: ohhhh I feel your pain for sure. We pushed his wee-wee (that's the word we used... no idea why) down for him in the beginning whenever he was on the potty. Also, if you teach them to lean forward while they're sitting, that helps them to aim into the bowl as well. After a week or two he figured out how to push it down himself. He still misses sometimes if he's in a big rush. But yeah... if no one is pushing it down, it gets EVERYWHERE!!!

On the big potty, I sit DS right at the edge of the seat, so his penis pushes against the rim and points down. On his little potty, I taught him to sit forward/lean forward so his penis points down. I got sprayed a lot at the beginning, lol, and it was NOT fun!

We use this and it has a little guard in front to avoid spray.

Also, we have taught DS to make sure his weewee is pointing down before he pees.

The only time we do standing up is outside. Otherwise, there is no way he could do the standing by himself unless he uses his other potty chair, and I really don't want him peeing on the floor every time.

We would hold his penis down for him in the beginning and always say "hold your penis down". By 2 years old he did it himself. We still remind him occasionally but doing it for him in the beginning was the only way to prevent spray.

I don't know a lot about the early stage, but I am a pre-k teacher and I wish more parents would send their boys in pants that are easy to get off. After their are first potty trained they pee a little bit in their pants before they can get the button undone.
