The goal of potty training is to move your child from a single success to multiple successes to becoming a habit.  For potty training to become a habit for your child, while keeping your child still motivated is the challenge.

So, what I suggest is that you create a reward system that build up i.e. a reward for a single success, a bigger reward for a certain number (say 5 successes)  of successes and then you can have a special reward at the end of the day for having had such a great day - and this can be as simple as additional attention at bedtime with an extra story.

You need to keep you child interested and working with you until toilet habits are a routine part of you childs life.

The best way to keep track of these reward is to use a potty chart and stickers.  Go online and you will find many places where not only can you buy charts and sticker, but you will also find free printable charts and stickers.

Place stickers on the chart for each success.  10 stickers equals a bigger treat - say a small gift that you know will keep your child motivated.

Once potty training has become a habit for your child, you will find that the need for child is going consistenly and is no longer interested in the rewards.
