Teaching your kids to use the toilet might be a very daunting experience for them. Modern bathroom appliances are not designed for their small bodies, and without help, they sink into the hole rather than seating. Cue the potty-training seat. This bathroom gadget adapts to your toilet and transforms it into a much more kid-friendly version. Some of them include built-in steps to help them reach the perfect height and to climb the throne on their own.

Babies are known for gnawing on anything they can get their hands on, including your face! This behavior is cute when you're cuddling your infant, but it becomes much less cute and infinitely more painful when that infant becomes a toddler and has teeth. No magic switch turns your infant into a polite mini human the moment they turn into a 1-year-old. It’s a gradual, years-long process that you’ll guide.

Learning to tie shoes is an important accomplishment that can be difficult for some children. While adults think nothing of double-knotting shoes before heading out the door, the simple action is rather involved.
