5.0 out of 5 stars Dylan Went From Diapers To The Potty In 1st Week With Potty Power!, July 20, 2009

By 

Barbara Trent "The Word" (Ocala, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Potty Power - For Boys & Girls (DVD)

My boy Dylan was having trouble transitioning to the potty. How many times did he go off into the corner and stand there?!! When asked what he was doing, he would say, "Nothing." When asked if he needed to use the potty, he would say, "No." Of course, he did. Well, if this sounds familiar, then "Potty Power" is the answer. I bought this 2009 version (don't know the difference but went for the more current date). Dylan began watching it and within a week started getting to the potty instead of the corner. Very impressive. After trying the potty bear, books, and tons of reasoning and pleading (which all worked with my daughter way back when), I am just thankful and relieved that this DVD worked. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Potty Power is Silly, but it Works, April 4, 2010

This review is from: Potty Power - For Boys & Girls (DVD)

Toilet training is part of the parenting process and while it usually begins in the toddler years, it can take longer with some children than others. Potty Power attempts to speed up the process by presenting a DVD that encourages kids to use the potty and give up their diapers or pull- ups for good. It accomplishes it goal through its potty talk, songs, skit, and upbeat attitude about using the potty. Jessica, the Potty Power narrator, is encouraging and extremely perky. She talks about pee and poop, slang terms for bodily functions, and more while managing to keep a smile on her face throughout. She really wants children to learn to use the potty, and her enthusiasm, hopefully, will carry through to the children who watch the DVD.

This DVD certainly has its usefulness and I know many people who have had great success showing this training session to their young toddlers. But it does get a little corny and many adults will roll their eyes as they listen to the dialogue and the songs. Songs like I'm Proud to Wear my Underwear, Wipe Your Bottom and others are certainly catchy to young children, but even some youngsters will find the material too silly to be true. One of my toddlers is already toilet trained and she laughs aloud when she watches this DVD, due to its silly and often corny style.

Silliness aside, what matters most is the effectiveness of the DVD and from my experience, Potty Power has made a difference. My youngest one likes to repeat the lines she has heard from this DVD and she likes to sing along to the tunes. She has been going on her own, to the potty, so the DVD does seem to be having a positive effect, even if it does get annoying at times.

Potty Power, in spite of its silliness, is an effective means to wean children off their diapers and pull- ups. If you can get past the goofiness of the whole experience, the excessive perkiness of the narrator, and the annoying skit at the end, Potty Power seems to have something going for it. Children will remember the tunes and message, making this DVD a good toilet- training supplement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Geared more towards older kids, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Potty Power - For Boys & Girls (DVD)

Now that my daughter is 2, we are hoping to really ramp up the potty training and get things moving. She was introduced to it a while ago and knows the concepts, but just doesn't have much motivation. This DVD is geared more towards older kids, I would say 3 and up - kids who are able to get their pants up and down by themselves and wipe on their own and wash their hands by themselves. My daughter liked watching the video during the songs, but other than that she did not show much interest.
