Potty training is one of those milestones that sounds simple in theory but can be tough in practice. Many parents find that boys in particular take a little longer, and the process can come with plenty of accidents, resistance, or even a complete lack of interest.

If you’ve been through this stage, what challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
What tips, routines, or approaches made things easier for you and for your child?
Your input might be exactly what another parent here needs to hear.
