## 9.2 Using the Potty Training Reward Chart
You may be wondering, what is the best way to use the wall chart and why?
Well the wall chart is designed to **help with positive reinforcement** and **reward good behavior.** It not only **helps you keep track of her progress**, but is also good for your child… **helping them to see their own progress.**
If she's doing well then she will be **more than likely to be positive about** the whole potty training process and want it to succeed. If she wants it to then it will.
I have kept the charts as simple to use as possible, seeing you will have to print it out for yourself. Choose one of the two versions that suits your child – a boy or a girl chart. You might need to print a few copies worth – depending on how quickly you progress from stage to stage.
To use the chart, you have to choose a day to start training on (Mon to Sun). Print one page of the chart. Write your child's name at the top in the space provided – e.g. "Polly's Potty Training Progress". And then start filling in the spaces provided from the first attempt at sitting on the potty – see the example below.

To make things more fun, try print out the color versions of the potty training wall charts that I've provided for you above, and perhaps get a set of fun stickers that your child likes.
Get them involved by letting them stick their own stickers (guided by you) in the reward box at the end of each day's records – I've used a tick mark in the example above.
Or you could use a star-shaped sticker or stamp into the rewards section – the point is to make it fun and entertaining for your little one.
**Make the chart a part of the excitement and rewards/praise routine…**
Some people like to reward after every successful potty sitting, but that can kill the excitement quickly, so instead resolve for verbal praise after every success, and a physical reward (like going to the park or a small toy that you know she would like) after a prolonged consistently successful periods of training – like a week.
**You can stop using the chart after a couple of weeks.** Children tend to get bored with the wall chart after a few weeks anyway, besides you can't use the chart forever.
