Question

Why does it seem that girls are easier to potty train than boys?

Answer 1

cause they are!

Answer 2

I think it is because girls learn communication skills faster than boys do.  They understand more of what you are saying.  Girls in general have a better attention span too...so they don't get so distracted by what they are doing that they don't notice that they have to go to the bathroom.

Answer 3

I actually had the opposite happen! My 2 girls took a long time, but my little guy took literally 2 days! He just would go into the bathroom, sit on the big potty, do his business, and come out! So simple!

Answer 4

My son was younger than my daughter when he was potty trained, but he was the 2nd and wanted to do what his sister was doing. I think it depends on the individual child not what s*x they are.

Answer 5

beckyf has a point..."I think it depends on the individual child not what s*x they are." Each person regardless of s*x can tell when they are ready....if they are able to communicate with you that is an indication they could be ready. Ultimately, leave it to the child to know when they are ready to be potty trained because if you force your child they won't want to do it.

Answer 6

its human nature..girls learn quicker than boys thats why they mature faster. especially since dads are usually at work, who will the boy learn to pee from?
