Abstract
A toilet training system, using a board having a pre-printed path having a path beginning and a path end. The path is made up of step spaces and reward goal spaces. Initially, the parent and child select a reward type, and write the reward type in one of the reward spaces. When the child successfully uses the toilet, one of the step spaces is marked, providing visual indication to the child that they are progressing toward one of the reward spaces, and the reward symbolized thereby. When a child fails to successfully use the toilet, the last marked step space is erased to provide the child with a gentle reminder about the set back in toilet training. Once the step space immediately preceding that reward space has been reached by virtue of successful uses of the toilet, the child is rewarded with the previously chosen reward.
Claims5
A toilet training method, for use by a parent and child, using a board having a pre-printed path having a path beginning, a path end, and a plurality of spaces between the path beginning and path end, including step spaces and reward goal spaces, the reward goal spaces are distributed on the path and are separated by a predetermined number of step spaces, the space at the path end is a reward goal space, the space at the path beginning is a step space, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a reward type by the parent and child;
- marking the step space at the path beginning when the child successfully uses the toilet;
- marking step spaces following the last marked step space when the child again successfully uses the toilet;
- and
- rewarding the child with the previously chosen reward type when the step immediately before one of the reward goal spaces has been marked.
