so...if sitting on the potty (for long periods of time at bedtime) is a negative...why is she still getting a sticker for just sitting on the potty? I would consider rewarding the behavior you want (stickers for peeing (1) and pooping (2) in the potty) and skip the just stickers for sitting. Maybe she gets bonus stickers for finishing within some (declining?) time frame, e.g., a bonus or perhaps double stickers for success within 15 minutes, then once she has that down or a week has passed or something, make it 10 minutes. Use a timer so she knows her limit and it's objective/doesn't appear subjective. (if she interferes with the timer, deduct a sticker...but hopefully that wouldn't be a problem.)
Just some ideas, mind you. We didn't have to fight this hard, as the "peer pressure" incentive worked pretty well in both our cases.
