When u use the bathroom let them use the potty right next to u and then reward them even if

they don't use it they are getting into the habit of going when u go. Praise them each time.

Dump a little bit of cheerios(cereal) inside the toilet bowl. Then, tell him or her to pee on them.

Boy or girl? If its a boy start with #1 and put Cheerios in as targets

Don't put anything on them when your at home they won't just go

Dr Phil's method. It involves an all day party and a lot of juice

Don't push the issue it will backfire. We did sticker chart with 2 for #2 reward box after 25.

We tried and in the end we just let him come to it on his own when he was ready, they will.
