Large bowels: The foods she eats can effect the consistency of her bowels. Make sure she is getting plenty of fluids, which can help. As long as she is not complaining though, this is not a problem, and it is probably more the amount of toilet paper she is using that is clogging the toilet, than the size of a 10yo stool. Maybe teaching her to flush immediately after going, then again for the toilet paper.
