Re: anyone with young kids help please

We are have a potty-bank. I have to put pennies in it everytime youngest uses the potty.The pennies get her a potty prize on good days.Day 1, a prize=1 penny, day 2 it costs 2 pennies=prize, stay at that rate for 3 days, then up it to 3 pennies=prize.Keep it up till it is all morning/ without an opps=prize(where we are now, that us week 3).Our next step is all day=prize.Youngest is almost 3.We stopped buying pretty diapers an found a cheap store brand she does not like as much as her pampers.(she still gets those at night)
Her next older sister(Miss Stuborn) now 6 did not train till 4.5. So we are trying earlier this time.I was just frustrated last time when another Mom at ToyRus told me about the potty-bank.She told me to relax and that all else fails since her Doc said she was healthy take her to pre-school.The pre-school near us puts those still in diapers in the classroom next to the babies.Big-kids room has cooler toys and with glass walls they can see this.
My oldest two were very easy to train.My son it was more aiming issues than stuborness.Sending hugs
