Sticker for trying
Give a sticker for sitting on the potty and trying, not only when something happens. NHS advice is to praise your child for trying, whether or not they manage a wee or poo.

Free printable potty training chart
A sticker for every try on the potty, a Buddy cheering them on and a small reward at the end. Add your toddler’s name, choose how many stickers it takes, and print it for the bathroom wall.
Tips
Making it work
Keep the first reward close
Ten stickers means the first reward arrives within days. Move up to 15 or 20 once they have had a win.
Stay calm about accidents
Accidents are a normal part of learning. Clean up together, move on, and never take a sticker away.
Small, quick rewards
A new book, a trip to the park or choosing the bath toy. Deliver it the same day the chart is full.
Questions parents ask
When should I start potty training?
The NHS says almost all children can be potty trained between 18 months and two and a half years old, and that you don’t need to wait for your child to show signs or ask to use a potty before you start.
Do sticker charts help with potty training?
NHS advice suggests praising your child for trying and says you could give them a sticker or use a reward chart. Stickers for trying work better than stickers only for success.
What should I do about accidents?
Accidents happen to most children while they learn. Try not to get angry or upset: stay calm, clean up together and move on.
How many stickers should a potty chart have?
Start with 10 so the first reward comes quickly, then make the next chart a little longer.
