A big question when it comes to how to potty train is whether or not to use rewards or incentives — things like candy or small gifts — to encourage your toddler to poop or pee in the big potty. In this video, I talk about why I personally did not use rewards and instead used positive reinforcement. But many families do find that rewards can work well.
Did you use incentives or rewards for potty training?

I have 10 kids, and I have used insentives when it came to potty training, I think it gave them motivation. Although I can’t take credit for potty training all my kids, this is what we did you on the ones that we did potty train and it worked. My Mom who potty trained the rest also used incetives.
We have a bol full of m&ms ready as a reward but its got to a point where he would rather not have an m&m and not pee or poop. Not sure what im going to do now as incentives dont work anymore …… Oh dear
