Simple. Start training him NOW, to sit BACKWARDS on the adult toilet seat. He will feel more secure that way & have something substantial to hold onto. Stay with him & remain calm & reassuring yourself. Discuss the weather. Tell him what a GOOD boy he is. (They thrive on positive reassurance). Tell the other parent, what a big,brave & good boy he is. Don't force the issue. Offer both ways, but give praise when he succeds in using the adult seat. Soon he will think that it is completely normal to use the toilet that way. When he is big enough, & no longer afraid of falling in & being flushed away, he will start to use the toilet the right way around.
