He gets a penny for good behavior (whether at home, mammaws, pre-school) and when he gets to 10 pennies...he gets to choose a reward. So far he had baked cupcakes with the first 10 and baked ice cream cone cakes with the second 10. I have seen a HUGE change in his behavior! I am doing something similar for my 4 1/2 year old.

He also got a quarter for pooping. Once he was trained, I explained to him that I would no longer be paying him, but that Daddy and I would take him to the store to buy a new toy for being potty trained. He was so excited! Unfortunately, we've been facing the problem of him being distracted and not making it to the bathroom in time. He's having several accidents a day! I used this idea while training our little guy.

My daughter isn't quite 2 and she has been "potty training" for months. She started showing interest at 18 months and has used it a few times. But just recently, she went to her potty (her diaper was already off), opened the seat and sat on it to pee! We were pretty thrilled. I sat her on the "big potty" today and she pee'd there too - must have been brilliant timing :) She is pretty happy with us clapping and saying "good job," but I will keep this in mind if we need it!

We have used stickers and charts as well as M&M's. I like the M&M idea because I can grab a few for myself too. The great thing about pennies is they don't know that the other coins are worth more. (At least at first. Yes, we do teach them that.) Great idea! We have used stickers and charts as well as M&M’s. I like the M&M idea because I can grab a few for myself too.

This is what we did. Take her to the store to pick out "big girl panties". Wear them under her diaper. Then she will know what wet feels like. Diapers absorb so much that kids never feel the wet. Worked for us...fast. My kids are teenagers now. This is what we did.
