My 4 year old son is potty trained except that he still pees sitting down. It's not a big deal, but as his dad, I'd like him to start peeing standing up. How can I encouraage him to try it?

 Hello,
The most obvious way is to do it together. Most little boys want to do whatever their dads do. Without making a big deal of it I would just suggest you casually share the experience. If he doesn't want to join you, fine, but in time he probably will. I think not making a big deal of it is the most important thing. Role models in all things are very powerful for children. Keep it in perspective - he most likely will change sooner than you really want him to since they grow up over night.
Oh, I've also heard of people who encourage boys by dropping a few Cheerios in the bowl and inviting them to "aim."
Good luck
Good luck.
