When this whole process of training started I put up a chart in the bathroom with ten squares on it. I told her that each time she went on the potty, she could put a sticker in a square and then when all the squares had a sticker she could do whatever she chose or picked out any toy she wanted from Toys R Us. She thought for a second and told me that she wanted to go to Dennis & Heather's house for ice cream when her chart was full. I made sure this was okay with Heather and Jocelyn started working toward my (oops, I mean HER) goal. It was a slow start, but once she started putting stickers on the chart it was full within a couple of days!
Tonight we went to Heather & Dennis' house an had an ice cream party! Jocelyn was thrilled!
The chart was a great idea! I'm so proud of Jocelyn. Heather and Dennis and ice cream over a toy from Toys R Us??? Wow! They have to feel pretty special to be the reward choice!
