We Make Learning Good Habits Fun!
My journey as a children‘s inventor began many years ago after babysitting a friend’s young daughter who was not quite three at the time, and not yet potty trained. Remembering my Kindergarten excitement at receiving a sticker on my forehead for a job well done, I thought there might be a fun way to help her with her dilemma. That night I drew up the first teddy bear potty training chart, purchased some stickers and delivered it the next morning. I was happily surprised when her mother informed me she was potty trained in one day! She was running to the bathroom at the slightest urge and proudly showing off her sticker filled chart to everyone coming in the house. That encouraging beginning fueled my desire to help children in other challenging areas of young life. Now with Tinkles the Pottytime Bear, we have eighteen different charts to choose from.

★ The MyTime Friends Positive Action Charts use positive reinforcement to help toddlers, preschoolers and early elementary age children learn good habits!
★ Often out of frustration, exasperation or just plain inexperience, we as parents, grandparents, and caregivers fall into a negative approach to teaching good habits rather than using the almost magical approach of positive reinforcement. For every sincere effort allow your child to place a sticker on their chart. It's the act of rewarding themselves instantly with a colorful sticker that teaches your child learning new habits can be fun! Reward every success and soon it will become a pattern. Nothing pleases a child more than making you happy!
★ MyTime Friends is family owned and operated, run by sisters Laura and Joy Henkel and their niece Emily (who grew up using the charts!).
