This can establish the basis of how boys and girls use the bathroom differently. Choosing the Right Equipment It's highly recommended to start with a child size or adapter potty seat rather than letting them use adult size toilets. They can be risky at times, as children are quite smaller in size. Starting with a kid-sized potty will help the kid to gain confidence on the equipment first.
