Is it easier to toilet train a boy or a girl?

When I was toilet training my 2 kids, I did not go all out with the potty and all. I just placed them on the toilet seat 15 mins after their meal and if something happened, they got a sweet. If nothing i just assured them eventually it would happen. Also before they went to bed it was to the toilet. My girl learnt a lot faster...and she was both night and day trained the same time. For my boy it took me a year.

I had always heard that too but it wasn't true for us. Our oldest put up a fight and refused to use the potty until she turned 3 and then she only did it off and on. She finally was potty trained when she was 3 years and 2 months old. Our younger daughter was even worse. She did try and was going on the potty by 2 1/2 but she several accidents a day and refused to poop on the potty at all. She wasn't potty trained until this past summer when she was 3 years and 8 months old. My son, on the other hand, was a breeze. He was fully potty trained at 2 1/2 (just after my oldest started using the potty). I tried training him sitting down first but that didn't work. So my husband took over and decided he needed to stand up. Within a week of learning standing up he was peeing all the time in the potty and a month later he was going both ways on the potty. He was, by far, the easiest of the three.

My two boys were both very easy. But my little girl is proving very difficult. I think it just luck. some kids get it quick and others take a bit more time.

The only reason they say that boys are harder to train is that their 'pee and poop' systems are VERY closely connected, and when they feel the urge for one, they might not feel it for another, or distinguish the difference between the 2 feelings. They might tell you that they have to poop, and then pee their pants while they're standing there. THat's the only reason they say it's harder.

When I moved in with my ex girlfriend she had twins just learning to use the toilet and it took a while for them to get the hang of it but they did. But when my son was born and he got to that age it seemed to me he was playing games. always telling us after he went. He took much longer.

I thin that it's obvious that it's easier for the boy,because he is stand up,and he doesn't touch nothing.

I think its easy with girls, my boy took a lot of hard work to learn the toilet thing, the floor was the first toilet.

Myself I find it much easier to train boys over girls. By the time my son was 1 1/2 years old he was potty trained, my girls on the other hand were not done until they were both in there threes. I always thought that it should be easier to train a girl because they can go to the bathroom with you and you can teach them. With a boy it is hard for us as moms because we do not stand to do our business. With all of this it is just easier to train a boy.

For me, it was easier to toilet train my daughter, who's 8 this year. My son ,21 months, does not show any interest in going to the potty . He prefers to do it in his diapers. My daughter was introduced to the potty very early at about 6 months old :)

dont say like this ,it depends on parents only.my son started going to toilet himself at his age of 2 itself.but my sister's daughter still not tained well she is 3 now.

i havent ever had to train ether gender but considering guys still get ticked for urinating in corners and on trees in public i would have to say guys are harder to train. I apologize if this offends anyone but i have a very funky sense of humor and just had to drop my 2 cents in. if that bothers anyone let me know and I will stop doing it as i dont want to offend people with my odd humor.

I dont think it has to do with a child being a boy or a girl. It depends upon the mother or father, how willing and persistent they wanna train the child, and also depending on the fast pick-up of the child.

I got my son a Peter Potty. It is a standing potty he can only stand and use it and when he gets taller I can raise it or put it on the wall

i thinks is more easy for boys...

Boys are harder to toilet train for some reason, I have no idea why but I see it all the time where the boy takes longer.

My boys were easier to train then my girls. The girls just didn't want to go in the bathroom. Where as the boys were so proud of themselves and were trained a lot earlier than the girls.

I have 2 daughters, and they were both very easy to potty train at an early age. My oldest daughter was 19 months, and my younger daughter trained herself at 16 months. (their Dad worked evenings, and I had to take her into the bathroom with me all the time). Both of them I used a potty chair that looks like a mini toilet. I used M & M's as treats for my oldest daughter, and the younger one didn't need anything. Some friends have boys and they seem harder to train, but I've only had the experience with the girls.

My mom said that girls are really easy to potty train than boi\s because they fuse alot and things of that nature and lol i was always the one who was easy to learn things before my brothers

I personally feel that it's easier to potty train a girl. My daughter didn't take anytime learning how to use the potty. but my boy is a different story. he's taking his sweet time.

For me both i have a niece that is easy to teach and i also have a nephew and he is easy to teach also. for me the gender is not the basis of its capabilities.
