My son seemed to be a late bloomer in terms of potty training. At almost 3 years old, we were getting worried and losing hope. As two working parents, we were struggling to get him to get into training. We purchased some DVDs and books to excite him and while I thought the somewhat low budget looking Potty Power would be the least favorite, it turned into his most watched.
A day or two later he's already used the chair a few times a day and even at daycare, where he told the teacher he had "potty power!". The video doesn't have much in the way of jokes, etc for parents, but then again this is not really about entertainment.
Somewhat like Blues Clues, you have a wide eyed host who's talking to the camera, which seems to hypnotize the kids and make them pay attention. And yes, the Potty Power song will get stuck in your head. My only complaint is that there wasn't a 'boy' story to go along with the princess story at the end, but with our results already, we can't complain.
Great DVD
My son was almost 3 when we bought this video. He wasn't too interested in potty training but he needed to since his preschool required it. So we watched the DVD over and over. He would scream with his arms in the air that he had "Potty Power". And then he did. It took less than a month with 2 accidents and he figured it out. He still asked to watch the video for a couple months afterward. He hasn't had a problem since. I will recommend this video to all my potty training friends!
What a success!
My granddaughter watched the video two times one day. She didn't want to try to go potty. The next day, she watched it 6 times. A little while later she had her mother and I see that she'd gone potty by herself! About an hour later, she went again and this time she washed her hands. That was the end of her diapers. How nice!!
My son really enjoyed watching this video. It doesn't really go into detail about how to use the potty, however, it made my son interested in potty training!

Its a very nice, non-pushy video about a little bear who learns to use the potty. I was a little disappointed at the animation, as the characters dont move realistically, but my daughter doesnt seem to notice. She never cared about big girl underwear before, and this dvd encouraged her to think of it as something wonderful.
