The Modified Cheerio Challenge Method
Michael Gagnon: I used Cheerios to potty train my son…its fun and educational…just throw a handful in and tell him to sink em…then every time he gotta Go pee let him take a handful himself to help build independence.
The Daniel Tiger Method
Sean Zhang-Smith: Put the potty in front of the tv and put in Daniel the tiger. That’s how I got my youngest daughter to potty train. He teaches them to stop what they are doing, go to washroom and flush AND wash their hands afterwards all by singing as he does the steps.
The Shaving Cream Technique
Val Slisz: I let my boy use shaving cream. I let him squirt it into the toilet ant told him to pee on it to make it disappear. That or colored bath foam. He was trained In two weeks. Good luck!
The Bullseye Approach
Chris Phillips: Get a roll of red duct tape, plunge the water out of the bowl, then make a bullseye. At first give him a couple m&ms, then after a month make it so when he does it all day give him a fun size bag and a week get him a regular size, then so on and so on.
The Ping Pong Plan
Jo Smith: Put a ping pong ball in the loo, it won’t flush, but it’s a target! Pee on the ball and I’ll give you a treat.
Naked And Not Afraid
Justin Gossman: Sticker chart, leaving him naked, and putting his potty in the living room. We’re still working on it with clothing, but he seems to have it down naked.
