What is there to consider when potty training?

On most occasions adaptions are not needed when using toilets, a step may just be needed. Ideas of steps can be found here.

Below are some ideas for different potties which may be useful for potty training, for if average sized potties are too high, and some ideas for when children first use the toilet, some may also be useful for when children attend school, if school toilets require adaption. However it is important to allow children to use their own ‘way’ of getting to the toilet to allow them to gain independence. This travel potty can be purchased from Amazon and Mothercare. This more traditional potty can be purchased from Aldi.
