[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He hasn't made the connection between needing to pee and initiating going to the potty because you are using a timer and going so often. Put him in charge of it. I mean, definitely have set times you go (first thing, before leaving the house, before nap/bed, before meals), but otherwise tell him it's his job to tell you when he needs to go--and then have a reward for every time he initiates going and goes (something that he will think is good, for our kid we did various things including m&ms, fake tattoos, small cheap toys, stickers, etc.).[/quote] Thanks for the suggestions. Question -- how do we keep the little reward from turning into too much of an incentive, in that he'll want to keep going/trying all the time?[/quote] Nothing for trying. Initiating and peeing on the potty gets a reward. Two for poop. Make the rewards good. M&M’s burn out fast. [/quote]
