is it wrong to bribe when potty training?

[Cheesesarnie]

weve been having trouble.someone suggested one chocolate button every time he wees on the potty or toilet and its actually working.is it bad though?

Its not bribery, it's positive reinforcement!

no its not bad, do whatever ypu have to

I call it incentivisation

jolly good.someone suggested it when he first started but he didnt need it plus he was on cows milk free diet.

I gave chocolate coins every time ds went on the potty, and when he did a no.2 it was a super large chocolate coin
He cracked it fairly quickly so no problems here

Milky way stars worked a treat in this household. Only needed to use them for a week or two.

i was worried id have to start rewarding dd-8 and ds1-7 every time they went for a wee too but luckily theyre being very understanding

We have moved effortlessly from a sticker for every wee () to a piece of chocolate when she gets through a whole day with no accidents.

I used stickers. One for her and one on the potty. Worked for us. At that age I didn't really want to use sweets as a reward.

we did the sticker thing at the beginning before it went wrong so i think hes not really impressed with stickers now.i dont want to use sweets really but.....

Smarties for 1.5 week, worked a treat!

I'll clarify - 1 smartie per wee, 2 per poo...

What about a sticker chart with a reward at the end of it? I used to do that for dd and when she'd got 5 stickers or whatever she'd get to go and choose a book from the charity shop.

might try that if this doesnt work(this is working atm so dont want to change it).do you mean 1 sticker per wee then a book-what if he has ten wees in a day-2 books?i do love the idea of if hes doing well getting book at end of the week.

spoke to hv today about problem.she said to put him back in nappies for 6 weeks and start again.but today hes only missed once even at cm didnt miss!
