Bribery

Captain Chaos will do anything for M & M's. He doesn't get them that often, because I really try to limit junk food. He already thinks that candy is one of the food groups. There are times that I'll ask him what he wants for breakfast, and he'll say "Jelly beans."


But I have found a way to get him to go pee-pee on the potty. Every time he does, he gets two M & M's.

They say it is bad to use candy as a reward. I just read an article online about it. But it worked several times today. So I shall continue. Who are "they" anyway? "They" are not the bosses of me. "They" can't tell me what to do. :)

Nothing wrong with bribing. That's the best and easiest way. And "they" don't have to change the diapers and probably never have. Kinda like Dr. Spock.

m&m's were my best friend while potty-training my daughter. m&m's were my miracle worker!
