We all know how daunting potty training can be on both the parent and the child. It can be very frustrating at times. Often the child doesn't want to go on there, and if there is a baby in the house, it can be even harder, as they try to

I found one way that helps encourage the child to go on the potty and that is a little reward. With both of my girls i made a chart to hang on the toilet door. Each time they went on the potty they got a stamp or a sticker on their chart. If it was just a number one, they got one sticker. If it was a number two, they got two stickers. If they didn't make it and had a little accident they simply got a X on the chart. I explained to the girls that if they had one while week with no X on the chart then they could pick something nice as a reward for their efforts. It seemed to work well for them both and they now have big bears on their beds to show for it. A little encouragemnt goes a long way.
