  • Using lollies as positive reinforcement? Not ideal. Treats are totally fine, but shouldn't be used exclusively as rewards. There's always sticker charts), baking (parent-supervised), playing with playdough, a trip to the park. These are just a few ideas off the top of my head, there's plenty other encouragement and positive rewards.

    Not everyone thinks/parents the same way, but at the end of the day, as long as the child is trained, the method doesn't matter, I guess. Just my thoughts!

  • omgoodness... I totally disagree giving candy for going potty!!!

  • Ive been trying to potty train my 2 year old since she was 1 years old. I put her on the potty 3 or 4 times a day so she'd get used to sitting on it. Since she turned 2 we've been keeping her in panties through the day unless were going out or its bed time. She almost never goes to the potty in her toilet. She's always having accidents. I put her on the potty every two to three hours but she never goes in the potty. I can't reward her with candy but I do give her snacks. Any tips.

  • My mom used candy as a reward for going potty for all five of us kids and it worked great! My youngest sister was trained in 3 days. We didn't get candy all the time though so it was a big thing for us. So if your child gets candy a lot anyways, he/she may not want to go potty for it. Anyways, great advice. Not really sure why people have such negative comment about this.

  • Pull ups are awful and awarding a child for going potty is not necessary and quite detrimental. Read Alphie Kohn's book Punish by Rewards.

  • Pull ups are awful!

  • So how is it in Africa little african children just go and dig a hole to poop but American have to go through tons of trouble

  • @Nightrap I potty trained 2 sons and found that both of them REALLY wanted to pee standing up. I let them pee in a cup, and it was magic. They loved it, and it allowed them to pee standing up. When they were good at it, I started having them pee into a cup over the toilet until they were tall enough to pee directly into the toilet.

  • umm, this advice does NOT work...all my kid did with the pullups was figure out how to un velcro the sides when he pissed in them.he was pulling them up and down for about a week until he noticed they opened up on the side instead of the front, like a regular diaper...i'm glad this stuff worked on your toddler, but frankly, my kid is not a fan of candy.

  • Wow lady you suck!!! Obvious tip huh? Thanks for nothing.

  • @francineW1 its just an option god sometimes people can be so exagerated Go boil your kid
