Mine's kind of a long game because it requires older siblings. I've always used M&M's as a reward for potty training, and when I started training my third kid, I made sure to give her older siblings (4 and 6) a couple M&M's to join in the celebration when she used the potty. That happened maybe twice before they picked up on it and started encouraging her to pee on the potty every 20 minutes, and from there I just sat back and handed out M&M's while they did the potty training.
Not my idea, but one of my friends tells her kids only one kid in the world can watch a show at a time. So sometimes they can’t watch Daniel Tiger because another kid is watching him right now. 😂
