Just stay constant with him.

The daycare my child goes to uses a sticker chart to help them see they are accomplishing something. They also use reward with jelly beans when the child sits on the potty. However, that doesn't work for every child because my son learned that as long as he sits on the potty he gets a jelly bean. He said he had to go every 5 minutes and we ended up going through a whole bag of jelly beans in one night.

Thanks for reminding me again how children are. The last one I potty trained turns 14 next month. She would do good some days and some days she would forget. She went through a phase of hiding the evidence (wet underwear). Thing was they have a big yard (over an acre) and my brother-in-law would find them in the strangest hiding places and my niece blamed the squirrels. LOL. We shall survive this potty training too.
