4 Star Technique Rating

Description of method:
Buy a box of cheerios cereal, dump a few of them in the toilet, and play a game in which the child when they have to use the bathroom (works better with boys) will try to aim at the cheerios (using them as targets). Each cheerio hit gains a star (I used gold stickers). That star will be placed on a board (designed by the child and parent), when the child has gained so many stars (you decide the number) they get some sort of reward.

Recommended age for this method:
1-2 years old

How long should it take for child to be potty trained by this method?
about 1 month
