[Solved] How to teach 4 year old son to pee standing up

My son will be 4 next month and was potty trained to pee sitting down. How do I teach him to pee standing up? He has seen me use the urinal in the men's room, but is very reluctant to try it himself. What can I do to make him interested?

Hi There,

I wouldn't worry too much about getting him interested in standing up to wee, he will when he is ready decide he wants to try and be like Daddy.

My little one still sits to pee when he’s in the house and when in a toilet but when he’s needed to pee when out in the woods/fields he always loves to pee against a tree and used to chuckle as he did it.

Try getting him to pee against a tree next time you’re out n about.

Again its no big issue at that age.
