A month after my son turned 2 he started going on the potty. The only thing he wouldn’t do was poop. So I made a “poop chart” (a piece of paper that says poop chart) and he puts stickers on it every time he poops. Its the little things that make him happy, sometimes for a big poop I’ll give him a piece of candy. But I believe he pretty much potty trained himself. He was ready, and the stickers were just icing on the cake.
Some kids are just easier than others!
