So, your child has finally mastered the toilet. They see a bathroom and know what they need to do there. It\u2019s all very exciting news. But the bigger question is: what happens when they need to go while outside your house?<\/p>\n
Naturally, you\u2019ll find the nearest restroom, and if it happens to be a portable one, that\u2019s where they\u2019ll go. You might have a few reservations at first, and that\u2019s understandable. Here are four tips for helping a child use a porta potty to provide peace of mind.<\/p>\n
To state the obvious, using the bathroom at home differs from using a portable restroom, especially with kids. Generally, it would be best not to let them enter one alone. It\u2019s new territory for them. Yes, there is a toilet, and they probably know what to do with it, but there are other things to consider.<\/p>\n
Accompany your child to avoid them slipping or falling inside. Sometimes accidents happen, or the portable restroom is not as clean as it should be. Watch out for any potential dangers and teach them to keep a close eye out too. Accompanying your child also ensures they don\u2019t accidentally lock themselves inside.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re always trying to teach our children to practice good hygiene, and it becomes even more important with portable restrooms. Because of the traffic these units receive, you want to remind your child to keep their hands off the interior walls and not sit directly on the toilet seat.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not their home, so they may not know to avoid sitting down. Encourage them to squat if they\u2019re tall enough. If not, show them how to place toilet tissue or napkins on the rim before they do their business. Afterward, direct them to the hand sanitation area<\/a> to clean their hands. Here at Floods Royal Flush, we supply porta potties<\/a> and hand sanitation areas.<\/p>\n As previously stated, many people use these restrooms, and you don\u2019t want your child to barge in on someone while it\u2019s in use. Adults know to lock the door, but on the off chance it\u2019s not, remind your child to knock before entering.<\/p>\n This is a good tip for bathrooms across the board. You\u2019ll teach your child about boundaries and good manners. You can also show them the signs that someone is inside the porta-potty. Tell them that red means no, green means good to go, and they should still knock to be safe.<\/p>\n Kids always have something in their hands, and sometimes they are reluctant to let it go, but bringing it along into a portable bathroom is not a good idea.<\/p>\n Encourage your child to place toys, electronics, etc., in a safe location before using the bathroom. They need to focus while inside and outside possessions might distract them.<\/p>\n Children are the future, so it\u2019s our duty to help them use a porta potty correctly, among other things.
