Are girls really easier to train than boys?
Girls are usually easier, but I haven't seen any research that explains why this is so. Additionally, fewer girls wet the bed, and again, nobody really knows why.
If you watch for the signs that your child is ready to be toilet trained, it won't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. The main signs are:
• She can wait several hours before urinating, and, when she pees, she empties her bladder instead of urinating only a small amount at a time, which is typical of younger children.
• She knows the words that your family uses in connection with toileting, such as "pee" and "poop."
• She can get on and off of the toilet or the potty chair by herself and can raise and lower her pants unassisted.
• She generally understands and goes along with your verbal instructions. If your child typically won't follow most of your instructions, you should work on that for now and wait to start toilet training.
