It is that time again.. a child has made it to the age of three... going potty when she wants to but not all the time. So, it is time to implement my $20 potty training program... nope you do not have to send me $20...
Here is how it works... I go to the dollar store and the soon to be potty trained child picks out 20 of the most wonderful toys ever made from their wide selection... and I buy some poster board.. ok so it is a $20.69 program... and some stickers.. so $22.69
And then we come home, put on underwear or our birthday suit depending on the seaspn. We put the wonderful treasure in a basket or on a shelf.. somewhere they can be seen.. Then we make a chart.. with 200 squares.. When there is a successful trip to the potty a sticker goes on the chart.. and when the chart get 10 stickers.. they get to select a prize.
By the time they have earned all 20 prizes they have gone to the bathroom successfully 200 times. And Voila! a potty trained child.
