Incentivising children to potty train!

[VickyLouise]

I'm going to try to start potty training with DS, he's not really very keen on the ideas so I thought I'd try to incentivise him to make it more fun.
What has worked for other people?

Sweets, grapes, rasberries.

Stickers. Extravagant praise.

We're just in 2nd week, loads of stickers, little sweets ( buttons etc), huge amounts of praise and celebrating, phoning dad, nanny etc. And the hardest bit, loads of patience!!!

Wellll.

Weeing was fine - stickers did the trick for us. Poos were a bit more of a problem and I eventually offered chocolate.

That backfired as he then decided to try to poo at every possible opportunity and I'm sure nearly ended up with piles!!!

I caught him sitting on the loo, swinging his chubby legs, chanting to himself "do a wee, get a sticker. Do a poo, get some chocolate".

Now I just get, "MUMMEEEEEE COME AND WIPE MY BOOOOTTOOOOOOM".

I wouldn't mind but he turned 21 last week.

lol makesachange!

Thanks for all this advice! Are there any nappys / nappy pants that you've found are better than others? aRE THERE ANY POTTYS BETTER THAN OTHER ONES?
