I tried a combination of visual markers and consequences, but also introduced rewards for consistent progress. I started with using stickers on a wall chart to track successful efforts – every time my child used the potty correctly, they got to add a sticker. When there were accidents , we cleaned up together without making a big deal of it. In terms of rewards, I opted for small non-edible treats, like temporary tattoos or stickers, and we also sang a special 'potty song' that my child loved. The number of expected accidents varies depending on the individual child's developmental pace – some kids might go through 5-10 per week while others may have only one or two. I'd say to expect at least 2-5 accidents in your first few days, and gradually decrease as you become accustomed to monitoring.
