Sticker charts? How old?

DS is 2.4. Is that too young, or do you think it would work?
Having issues with eating, sleeping, milk, tantrums, tv, not wanting to go out, not wanting to leave the car, and of course potty training.
Bit of a nightmare ATM to say the least.

Reward charts work for some and not for others.
Give it a go, but I'd work on one issue at a time.
My ds1 who is 2.6 has suddenly become afraid of the bath. He screams and tells me there's a bee in there!
I now bath him every other night and he screams but gets a star sticker that he can put on a wall chart himself.
For the potty training, ds1 has been out of nappies since he turned 2 and I used smarties for that.

yeah, I'm a fan of chocolate for potty training, but worried he might just ask for it all the time. every time he has chocolate he asks for it for about a week after!

Yes, I see. My ds1 always wants chocolate too.
We also potty trained his favourite teddy first. I'd hold a small wet flannel under the teddy so ds1 couldn't see it and squeeze it into the potty as I sat bear down. When ds1 got bear up he'd 'wee-wee'd' in potty.....then when ds1 did it, I'd put 3/4 little party smarties in a small tub for him

SilveryMoon - LOVE the idea of potty training teddy, thanks for that!

You're welcome. I got the idea from a toddler story book I brought for potty training.
