Toilet Training: How To Prepare The Bathroom Environment
Our Expert Tip:
Suggestions for preparing the bathroom environment for potty training:
- Modified Toilet Seats – These will allow your child to sit comfortably and not fear falling in.
- Stepping Stool – If your child struggles with bowl movements, one in which they can push against may assist.
- Rid Distractions – Remove picture, bath toys, etc. You want your child to be able to focus on the task at hand.
- Remove Potential Hazards – Remove items on low shelves or the toilet basin that are breakable or flushable.
- Create Privacy – Put a sign on the door that they can flip to let others know it is occupied.
- Adjust Lighting – Put a pull cord on the switch so they can turn on/off the lights.
- Items to Reduce Anxiety – Remember children are sensitive and things like a cold floor or seat can make it an uncomfortable experience.
