DS scared to wee on potty

DS is 3 years and 2 months old, and is scared to release his wee on the potty - any suggestions to help him get over fear?

Started potty training for poos about 6-7 weeks ago. He had suffered from constipation, we got good help and support from GP to use Movicol, and now DS happily poos on potty, combination of regular "potty sits" after meals and also telling us if he needs to go.

Now trying to get him to wee on potty but he is scared, trying to work out how to help him... he says he wants to wear pants, he actively likes the potty for poos and will take his own trousers off and sit himself down, but refuses to wee on it. Been trying on and off for a week or so.

Any suggestions?

Did anything work?? Going through similar with my daughter. I need to tackle the constipation first!

My 3 sons never weed on a potty, they all stood up at the toilet to wee from the start.
I got them to aim at a ping pong ball in the toilet bowl.
