Thank God someone else feels the way I do!!! I think the cheerios in the toilet is ridiculous! It only teaches a child that it is okay to pee on food. Yuck!
I answer a lot of potty training questions and there are always so many people suggesting putting cheerios in the toilet for their child to aim at. I have potty trained many children and never needed a cheerio! There are so many better ways to train a child.

Nope, but I hadn't heard about the Cheerios in the toilet thing back when my boys were little. I used to tear up pieces of toilet paper and float them in the toilet. We'd call that "sink the boats." What you're describing is probably a good reason not to use food in the toilet. I guess it sends kind of a mixed message.
Mrs. Biggles--the Cheerios got in there as an "aiming" aid for toilet training boys.

I'd like to know how the cheerio got into the toilet in the first place and eww.. don't let your kid eat out of the toilet what kind of advice is that. Very bad advice

No, but I'd rather she did than eat something out of the sink. Toilet water is cleaner than the sides of your sink...

Ew!! If the toilet had nothing in it but CLEAN water, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If not...yikes...
