Our big mistake was rewarding our son just for trying to go potty. A suggestion would be to create a Potty Chart system where your son could put a sticker on it each time he successfully goes potty in the toilet (1 sticker for #1's and maybe 2 stickers for #2's). After collecting a certain number of stickers (depending on your child and how often he goes potty-perhaps between 8 to 10 stickers), he could win a reward (Thomas book, Thomas stickers, etc). Then, after collecting about 20-25 stickers, he could win even a bigger reward (like the Thomas or his friends wood trains or metal trains). Let him know ahead of time that collecting a certain number of stickers (let's say 10) equals Thomas books or Thomas stickers, and that a bigger amount of stickers (for example, 20 stickers) equals Thomas wood or metal trains. You could even write the amount of points and draw the equivalent types of rewards on the chart (kids are very visual). <br />I hope this helps! Wish you and your boy success in potty training! I know this stage can be difficult, but in the blink of an eye, your son would be already in the elementary school, doing homework, talking about video games, playing sports, helping you out in the house... It's amazing how fast it really goes! :D Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933375849027586315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085551795159229037.post-3450439636107606952013-10-31T09:00:02.521-05:002013-10-31T09:00:02.521-05:00Starting to potty train our son.
