Free Potty Training Reward Charts

After last night, we have had a few accidents (which is expected) but had a few more wee's on the potty. I wanted to reward him for weeing on the potty but didn't want to use sweets or chocolate. I found a few websites which had some lovely free reward charts on which you simply print out. I thought the benefits of using a reward chart would show Jack that he has successfully used the potty by sticking on a lovely gold star. I am hoping this will help boost his confidence while using the potty. You could use a similar reward chart for anything; maybe for behaviour, sleeping or potty training.
I wanted to share these sites with you. Another way to save a few pennies!

• First up is for potty training and has a selection of different characters on (Cars, Diego, Disney, Dora & Thomas) 
• Next, this site has a wide selection of charts suitable for all areas which can be rewarded. There is also advice and coupons which can be used along side the reward chart system.
• There is some simple ones on this site which you can let your child colour in.

Below is the reward chart we have decided to use.

OMG Pizza Hut are letting kids eat free!!

 

Trust Pizza Hut to have a super offer on while I am on a diet! (they must know I adore their pizza's) Can you believe they are extending the fantastic offer so Kids Eat Free until Jan 9th 2011?? I can't! Pizza Hut have been running an excellent offer all summer which allows kids under 12 to eat for free*.... yes I did said FREE*!!

*For every adult main course or adult lunchtime buffet purchased, an accompanying child can choose from either a FREE 2 course kids meal (includes a drink) or a FREE kids lunchtime buffet (includes pizza, pasta and salad). If you don't believe me you can find more details about the offer at http://bit.ly/a1DhgJ

They know the summer holidays can be a struggle to ensure kids are entertained. That's why there is nothing better than some free pizza to keep everyone happy, and with the offer extended until January (following over 900,000 happy kids taking advantage already) everyone’s a winner! I know I may have to have a day off the diet just so Jack can eat lots of yummy pizza!

There is only so many times you can walk to the local river to feed the duck's and go the library. I swear we have had most of the children's section out! As much as Jack enjoy's feeding the duck's and going for a walk along the river (I don't! I get bored doing the same old thing!) Living in such a small town; the parks are always busy and you can't escape without jumping on a train or bus (unless your lucky enough to have a car!) There is only so much time you can spend in the garden and it can then become boring. I am sure my family are tired of seeing me and Jack (LOL)  I know there is nothing which could compare to a yummy scrummy lunch at Pizza Hut where kids can eat free!

Pizza Hut are offering more! At the bottom of any Pizza Hut Restaurant receipt you will find an offer code. Enter this code at http://www.pizzahut.co.uk/familyadventures to get great deals on a wide range of family activities and adventures including holidays, theme parks, zoos and more.

There is no excuse not to go to Pizza Hut!
