Potty Power - For Boys & Girls

This video was the answer to getting a highly resistant 3 1/2 year old boy potty trained. We tried for months and couldn't break through his resistance. We tried a few weeks than would wait a few weeks and try again. We had no problem getting him to sit on the potty but he wouldn't do anything and would go as soon as he go off. So I bought this video and played it the whole day thinking even if he wasn't watching it some of it would sink in. Than the next day I put him in under wear and played the video again and gave some of the kids names to make it more personal to him. He wet his clothes once and I changed him and told him he would have to change his wet clothes himself the next time. In a few hours he again wet his clothes after sitting on the potty for 15 minutes. So he took off his shorts and under wear and ran around with a bare butt. I always said I would never train a child by letting him be naked as some books suggest but I was at the point of trying anything. After a short time he came running to the potty chair sat down and with a huge smile on his face said "I peed". And indeed he did. So we made a big deal of It and called his daddy at work. I gave him a small prize. The rest of the day he stayed dry and used the potty. The next day he poohed in the potty and he has only had a few accidents since. For about a week he would pooh in his pants but than decided to use the potty for that too. It is now two weeks out and he is totally trained and I credit this video. He still mentions it at times when he is washing his hands or emptying the potty. He says that's what the video tells him to do.I do agree the video would work better on older children say 30months and up. And it is slanted a bit to girls but it sure worked for us. I highly rcommend it.

My 2.5 year old daughter wanted nothing to do with it....then we denied her all her cartoons lol and this was the only thing she could watch...then all of a sudden once it was her only option she started to pay attention and ended up loving it. She would want to watch it over and over. She ended up preferring to go right for the toilet without using a potty chair or seat adapter. It was a week of heck in the house as we had tried the whole pull-up business for months and failed, so this go around we said no pull-ups and went straight to panties. Like in the DVD they get rid of the diapers, well pull-ups in my honest opinion now are nearly as absorbent as a diaper, so I just don't feel at least for us that our daughter could really tell when to go, and she doesn't pay attention to the design on the diaper changing if she pees. After a few carpet accidents, she started having accidents closer and closer to the potty. Finally it took about an entire week and she started making it in time for the potty. But she had an 11 year old sister helping to potty train her, so seeing her go potty that way may have been an influence as well. The DVD definitely helped my stubborn little girl and I am glad I purchased it. Now she is 3 and almost completely potty trained, she does wear a cloth diaper to bed as she still has nighttime accidents, or if we go on a road trip she wears one as if she falls asleep she often will have an accident. Now we need a DVD to teach her how to wake up before having an accident and go potty.

My grandson was 2 when he started to have interest in going on the potty , than his baby brother was born & than he stopped , we tried to keep him going on the potty but he had no more interest in it , since he did say he wanted to be like brother & wear diapers . So a friend suggested this video , I got it he watched it maybe twice & got bored with it , but than again if a video is not about tractors or trucks he loses interest quick . He is now 3 & potty trained he still has some boo boos but that is to be expected , as other children mainly when playing & does not want to stop to go potty .

First of all, wow. This movie is annoying beyond all belief. The production is cheesy, the songs stick in your head for DAYS, and it looks like it was made in the 80s. A denim shirt, really?Okay, enough about that. We ordered this at the end of November when our son was about 28 months old. We were not in any hurry to potty train, and wanted to take things at his pace. However, I thought this would be a fun way to introduce some of the concepts to him and try to spark his interest. He watched it about 3 times a day, 4-5 days a week, for about 2-3 weeks. Then we went on vacation for the Christmas holiday and that was that. When we returned home at the beginning of January, my son insisted it was time to potty train. He started removing his own dirty diapers, leaving them on the floor, and putting his pants back on. After a couple days of this we decided to give it a shot. We've been potty training for almost a month now and he's done really well. He still has accidents and isn't yet wearing undies at nap time or overnight, but he went from defiantly protesting "NO!" when any talk of potty training came up, to suddenly VERY interested and ready to do it. Whether this movie made that happen or he just decided he was ready, I'm not sure. But he definitely enjoyed the movie and LOVES whenever I sing the songs to him while we're potty training. It has definitely instilled pride in himself, as he will randomly shout throughout the day "Potty Tower!" Ha! We tried to correct him, but to no avail. So, Potty Tower, it is. Either way, he enjoyed it and we suffered through it, with the end result being a confident and willing boy ready to tackle potty training.
