We've done the jar, and we just weren't good about it. LO really liked stickers. We've fallen off the wagon and really need to get into rewards again.

I think you need to start small.

Reward her for staying in bed for 1 night

Once she masters that then you can do it for 2 nights, 3 nights, etc.

We have been doing rewards for a long time so right now we use small jars and fill them with pom-poms - once the jar is full they get to pick an activity to do.

I have a reward chart for pooping in the potty. I made 10 blank squares = picture of ice cream cone so she understands she needs multiple stars to get her big prize. It's been working really well so far!

@regberadaisy: Visuals are really helpful! So are short term and long term rewards. Behavior charts have worked really well with my LO who is 3 but we have done them for at least the past year.

I would encourage a chart over a jar at this age. My LO liked getting a star on her chart plus a sticker she could wear for every success. We also did little and big rewards. For example our last chart was to get her to fall asleep by herself in her room. Every day she did it, we put a star on the chart and gave her a sticker. 4 stars=1 nail polish. 16 stars=frozen the movie. Now she falls asleep on her own!

It is really important to do the chart quickly for the reinforcement, so we would do it once she woke up. We hung it on her door at eye level so she could see it too.

Good luck!
