Are you struggle with keep cleaning the floor after your son urinates in the bathroom? Does your son happen to wet his pants right after potty? Does your child wet their bed once a while? Potty training accidents can and will happen. Realizing that accidents are a part of potty training could actually speed up the process, today I am going to share with you three common potty training accidents and how to deal with it positively.

First, ways to train your baby boy to urinate on the toilet. When you transition your son to the toilet, begin with having him sit on the front, facing the back of the toilet with his legs straddling it. That gives him a larger target, and any misdirected spray hits the back of the seat instead of the floor or wall. If he faces the front, you’ll probably find more urine on the floor than in the toilet.

Another common accident is pant wetting or wets their pants right after potty. That’s because the child ignores the urge to go to the bathroom or goes but does not fully empty their bladder. In a big hurry to get back to whatever they were doing, they cut off the process, pulls up their pants, then relaxes their muscles. As a result, he/she wet their pants right after potty. You can usually correct this situation by reminding your child to use the potty and encourage your child to take some extra time sitting on the potty. You might have them sing ABCs song, and then have them take a couple of breaths and try again to get all the urine out.

One thing that frustrating parent is bedwetting. However, bedwetting is not considered a health problem until a child is about 5 years old. If you really don’t like your children’s bedwetting, there are some tips for you here. As your child is urinating, have him/her stop and start a few times. This helps strengthen the sphincter muscles that hold in the urine. Encourage your child to take responsibility for their wet bedding, but never to shame them because of it. Consider rewarding your child for waking up dry, but do not punish them for nighttime accidents.
