You would like to know what the easiest way is to teach your son to urinate while standing.
Most children at the age of four already have the ability to control the urination. The age of four to five is the age when they have to be taught how to use the toilet seat. You may consider teaching your son to urinate standing by being there next to him, helping him and explaining to him how to do it. You may need a few efforts but at the end he will be able to do that by himself.
