Potty Power - For Boys & Girls

After potty training three kids and starting in on my fourth, I am still looking for that "miracle" product that will help skip over the weeks and months of potty "combat." Sadly, I don't think it exists. However, as annoying as this video can be- I felt like it was a very good way for my 29 month old daughter to start understanding about the potty. Here are some thoughts I have about this DVD:1. It shows lots of kids going to the potty (not graphic)which my daughter thought was cool.2. It shows lots of kids sitting on the potty, waiting.3. It mostly uses a potty seat and shows several different ones. It also shows a child sitting on a toilet with a potty cover for those interested in skipping over the potty.4. There are lots of different songs about all kinds of things- washing your hands, what you do on the potty while you are waiting, wiping, etc...5. They do teach kids that wiping, flushing, washing & drying your hands are part of the job.6. They refer to "poop" and "pee" in case you have other names for them.7. They point out the differences between babies and big kids.8. They play up how awesome "big kid" underwear are.9. They do have a short skit at the end about a little princess and what gets her to use her potty which was not so great.10. It contains a potty training Q & A section for parents.It isn't going to do the job for you, but it does expose kids to what a potty is for and get them (hopefully) interested. I don't have my two year old watch a lot of tv or movies, so this is a treat for her. It doesn't feel as annoying as Barney or The Wiggles in my book but her older sniblings hate it. But for the two year old, it seems to have gotten her attention because she does tell me almost every single time right after she has peed or pooped, so she is getting the associating down.I would buy it again. As mentioned before, it isn't the miracle, but it does seem to help.P.S. Don't waste your money on disposible pull ups. When your child has some control, try these  Blueberry Potty Trainers-Small-Green  They work great and they feel the wetness and associate quicker what they have done and where they need to do it.

I am a 28 year old first time Mommy.My husband and i first started potty training our triplets when they were 15months. Since they are my only kids, everything with me is new and a learning experience with only references from relatives with no experience in the triplet department. Nonetheless, i was always told not to rush your children to potty train but with so many kids learning earlier nowadays and the fact that we go through 2boxes of diapers weekly, i figured we could introduce them to it and see how it goes. At 15months old we did just that and it went ok. We would put them on it in the morning when i knew they had to use it and wait...and wait...and wait. After about two months they each would use it at least once a day so i was impressed and decided to start full time in the winter (we started in the spring of last year). However, my husband got a better job offer in a different state by the end off the summer and we decided to move. I stayed with my mother for two months until my husband found us a place and because i had to finish closing our current home in the state. During that time everything was so hectic between packing and moving that i didn't even attempt to continue the potty training routine for about a month and didn't really try to start again until we moved to the new state....thinking that we'd just pick up where we left off. That was a mistake! (Never slack off or stop training once you start). Once settled into our new home,i tried to begin the potty training process again and they weren't having it. They wouldn't even pee and they would hold their poop for So long that they'd get constipated so we purchased all new potties (2nd mistake). Although getting new potties is a great motivational tool for many kids, it was horrible for us with ours for the simple fact that we found their overall refusal to use their potties was simply because they were going through too many changes at once. We moved twice since their potty training began,moved away from family, bought them into a new town with a new house, and now we were getting them new potties. They were holding onto the diapers because that's what was familar to them and represented security and not change. So we held off potty training again and focused on getting them comfortable with their new home. They've adjusted really well here after 4months and turned 2 recently. They've started showing signs of independence since January of feeding themselves and helping clean up,etc. They copy everything on tv so i figured a dvd about potty training should be a piece of cake but with my triplets it has to keep their attention while motivating and teaching. I purchased this DVD along with Elmo's and after only watching this dvd only once,i ended up giving the Elmo dvd away lol(i watched half of the Elmo one so i won't do a negative review. I really didn't give it a chance once i looked at this one). This dvd has songs to keep them locked in,vibrant colors,kid interaction, and it teaches better than any other dvd I've seen. My babies love it. They dance along and sing and clap while they're sitting on their potties and my son (baby B) has both pee'd and pooped in his potty everyday since. He'll clap and yell "potty power!!!" with his fist in the air like the kids in the dvd. Mind you, he was always the most stubborn to go since day one of potty training last year. My other two pee on the potty but it's better than nothing so we reward them all with claps and a high five and stickers! It's only been day 3 of using this dvd but i am overly impressed at what it's done thus far. At this rate,they'll be potty trained in no time. The dvd is really corny to adults but it's not made for us,it's for kids and its made perfectly for them. They also have a section at the end where they talk to parents. It's awesome!I should also add that it teaches the basics which, for boys, doesnt involve peeing while standing just yet but i don't see a problem with this either because kids need one lesson at a time. My husband plans to show my 2boys "how to pee like a man" Once they've mastered the basics!! Good luck

Works reasonably well. Depends on attention span of child being potty trained. Eorthy trying at early stsges of potty trsining

When my son was only 14 months he produced his first masterpiece: a long turd squarely placed in a red potty. We were delighted. But he found our delight frightening. I suspect he thought he was growing up too fast and would cease to get our undivided attention. So he immediately went on strike and refused to have anything to do with the potty. Years passed. Now our prodigy had become a flunky. All the other kids were producing potty perfect dumplings but our son insisted on a filthy diapers. In our growing desperation we bough Potty Power. Yeah! My son loved it. In fact he insisted on watching it dozens of times over several months. Did he show an interest in using the potty? No.What eventually cured my son was this: We refused to clean his dirty diapers (he was three and a half after all) and told him he had to take a shower to clean himself off. He did this twice. He hated it. After that he skipped the potty stage and went straight to using the toilet - like a pro!All I can say is - good luck parents.

I really liked this product. It was interesting to watch and the child I used it with was captivated by it. The video used clear language and fun rhyme/songs as well.The only part that wasn't great was the story toward the end about the princess using the potty. It was a little long and the child was losing interest by this point.

I am not happy at all because i have ordered and paid for the DVD on 2/03/09 and have been waiting for it till today 4/04/09.The seller is not able to track the order!!!!It is not good experience with amazon at all.Is there anybody who can help me????

Cute!
