Getting my tot to be interested in the potty was no mean feat. I tried the sticker reward system which seemed to work quite well, at least to get him to sit on the potty. But getting him to actually do his business was another matter - I think the excitement of getting a sticker made him forget why he was there!

So I started making silly noises every time he sat down - nothing subtle, think outrageous fart noises and ludicrous sound effects. That seemed to do the trick of relaxing him and before long, he was asking for "more silly sounds" while doing his thing.

It was quite a challenge to come up with new sounds daily, but the incentive worked so well that I didn't want to change tactics. Before we knew it, he was fully potty-trained and the stickers became a thing of the past - but he still asks for the silly sounds occasionally!

That's a really ingenious way to incentivize your little one! The power of parental creativity knows no bounds, and I'm sure many parents will draw inspiration from this fun technique. Well done!

It's quite something how different methods work for different kids too. They're such individuals even at that young age, aren't they?
