Are your boys peeing on the floor? Perhaps they’re hitting the toilet seat as well? Isn’t it incredibly frustrating! I mean, just how hard can it be to actually get the pee into the toilet bowl? Too hard apparently, until now. Today is the day your socks stay dry and there’s no more stinky bathroom floor…
Say No to Peeing on the Floor
Pee on the floor is what we all dread. But it doesn’t stop there. There’s also pee on the seat, pee on the floor and pee pretty much all over the bathroom. It’s not like your sons and husband are having to aim for a tiny little hole to put their pee in. So, how can you get them to improve their aim?
- Sit down – little boys can’t stand and pee at the same time. Have them sit on the toilet seat to wee.
- Does he follow instructions? If not, introduce the pee standing up trick when he is older and keep him sitting down to avoid peeing on the floor.
- Check his motor skills – if your son struggles with walking or hasn’t yet developed a pincer grip, keep him sitting down for a while longer before peeing standing up.
- Hold it yourself – hold his willy and show how he needs to aim it towards the toilet bowl.
- Use a ping pong ball – encourage him to hit it with his wee. 5 points if he does!
- Draw pictures with an indelible marker - draw a picture in your toilet bowl for your son to aim at and use one of our rewards charts
- Make bubbles – how many bubbles does your pee make when landing in the toilet water?
- Play against the big boys/Dad – who has the better aim? Requires a happy to participate Dad.
