Incentives for using the potty? Do you bribe?

My kid gets jellybeans, mostly because I bought a big bag of them. I guess I could have done stickers or something. For a bit, we'd have him sit on the potty and give him one, then stopped after a while until he actually started producing. Now we just get jelly beans at home. I don't think school gives him anything.

Stickers in the early days for any successful trip to the bathroom.

Random dollar store items for dry nights.

We did m&ms, only when she actually peed or pooped. One for peeing, 3 for pooping. It didn't last long before she forgot to ask for them.

...because you waited until he was 3.5 or older? 3, at least, for all of his friends to be out of pull-ups? Ok.
