You could hypothetically try maybe making frozen ice cube trays full of his favorite drink perhaps? Like a bite sized ice pop reward?
With my son, we either do candy or Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. Instead of stickers, do you think he’d like temporary tattoos?
@Katie not sure about the temporary tattoos. He's only 2.5. He has so many cars though, his papa gives him one every time he sees him. @Parker 又 he's not a big cold person. He hates ice cream and freezies. I like the idea though.
@Katie that actually gave me an idea. He loves colouring so maybe new crayons and markers.
I don’t give anything. I tell him 5 poops in toilet and we can go skate park. Or he can FaceTime his cousin. Those seem to tempt him more, anything to get out of the house and do his fav things, he’ll do. Like mine, he has way too many toys and everything he already wants. So an outing works here. Usually after 5 poops that’ll fall on the weekend anyway
What about a jar that he fills with like a marble or something and when he’s filled it up he gets to choose something?
@Ellie my daughter was 2.5 when she got her first temporary tattoo. They’re a hit lol, but that would be a great idea! 🤩🤩
@Katie I'll go to the dollarstore and see if they have any dinosaur ones
You could try yogurt bites or blueberries
@Haley 💚 hates both. Been trying so hard to get him to like yoghurt as another source of calcium
I didn’t give my boy anything, just tons of praise.
Gummy bears, or reward stickers, or a short video
@Jen didn't work the first time we tried. He kinda gets embarrassed? He started hiding. We also tried using "big boy uses potty" and "babies use diapers" as it seemed to work when he was younger, but not now....
@Anna he doesn't like gummies. hates stickers, will actually go out of his way to avoid getting them when they are being handed out. He has way too much screen time for videos to work. His dad and my MIL have the tv on constantly, even when they aren't watching it. I've come home to my MIL asleep in the spare room and the tv on really loud.

@Ellie well you don't have to use a reward. There are plenty of potty training methods that don't rely on rewards.
Could you do like a prize box, kind of like a party favor box off of Amazon. My son is homeschooled and I got one of the boxes of there to let him pick one thing after he does school or even takes a bath without fighting since bath time is a big sensory issue with him being autistic
