This is an excellent question and one that often gets missed. Once your child begins to use the bathroom, even before he goes alone, you should make sure you’ve made the room child-safe. Here are a few things to check:
 
·                      Cover outlets with child-safe covers
·                      Lower water temperature to a maximum of 120°F (48.89°C)
·                      Store electrical appliances, such as hair dryers and shavers unplugged and out of reach
·                      Keep medications, toiletries, razors and other hazards in a locked cabinet
·                      Put non-skid mats in bathtubs
·                      Cover bathtub faucets with soft protectors
·                      Purchase all medications in childproof containers, and keep them locked up and out of reach
·                      Use plastic or paper cups and soap holders, not glass
·                      Make sure your child’s potty chair, seat insert and stool are securely in place
·                      Accompany your child when he uses bathrooms away from home
