3 Days - Potty success.

Rating: 5
I popped it in the DVD and my 26 month old son watched it a few times, he danced to the songs and just loved the DVD. The next thing I know, he is in the bathroom wanting to sit on the toilet and flush, flush, flush. Now he can't keep his clothes on and it's his newest obsession to go to the bathroom. I have switched from diapers to pull ups and have not had a wet pullup yet in a week. WAY TO GO ELMO!!!!!

I bought this video as a last resort to help my daughter potty train. She was almost three and wouldn't poop on the potty only pee. After seeing this video and the candid way the characters were talking about it she decided to give it a try. The next day we were done with diapers. Elmo's Father has a part in the video and sings a hysterical song about going to the bathroom. I watched it with my daughter and we both were laughing out loud. I totally recommend this video.

Accidents Happen - a life lesson, not just for potty-training..

Rating: 5
We bought this when my daughter was about 20 months-old and she saw it at a friend's house. She needed the messages of "keep trying" and "it's ok to fail." We talked about "Accidents Happen" while toilet-training, and still do even though she is now 4, though now we mean other sorts of accidents. Maybe your child is also sensitive? The gentle encouragement of this video may be helpful.

Some of the other reviews mention shock at the "potty-language" contained in thie video. Huh? What part of potty-training does not include words like "pee" and "poop"? It's beneficial for your kid to know what other people say so they aren't confused at day care, school, church, by babysitters, etc. Sometimes we forget that parents are not the only people that interact with our children.

I always loved Sesame Street as a kid, so I enjoyed the music, some of the older skits (I remember the kitten going up the stairs from when I was a kid), the the funny lines snuck in there just for parents. Some of the dialog drags and I could do without the last musical number (aaaak! in tune next time, please!). But the TP Rap and Accidents Happen make up for the slow bits. I also liked the way you can put the DVD in and it plays the Public Television intro, and then goes right to the movie without annoying menus, then auto-loops back to the beginning.

Good luck on your potty-training adventure.

I have twin 2 yr old girls and they love this dvd. The only part I don't like is some of the words kids use for poopoo. Dookie is not an appropriate word and they say it a couple of times.
The seller was awesome though.
