 Fine for girls, not great for boys September 24, 2006

First of all, this video is only about 25 minutes long, so there's not a lot of room for content. I bought this for my 2.5 year-old son, and we were all disappointed. The "Princess and the Potty" story held NO interest for him at all, so the video is even shorter in our house. Also, there's no discussion about accidents, boys standing to pee, or other issues that need to be covered for training. If you have a boy, I suggest thinking about a different video, such as "It's Potty Time!" or the Elmo potty video.
 Over the top...and perfect. November 17, 2004

Ok, the truth is that, while I love my son tremendously, I could never muster the level of enthusiam that these people deliver. My son loves this video, and I believe he has learned from it. If nothing else, he sees potty training as a positive thing, and that is worth the 10 bucks. The woman who narrates this video is almost heroic in her presentation. Buy it.
Thank God for Potty Power!!! January 18, 2006

Ok...I have two girls. The first literally potty-trained herself...the second one...well...? So I had to start researching books and videos and came upon Potty Power. I was a bit skeptical...but the price was good...I am at a loss...so what the heck. She watched it non-stop 10 times when we first got it. And...she took off her diaper...went into her sister's room...and went pee-pee on her floor. Ok, not the expected reaction, but boy was she excited. She watched it everyday, 10 times a day, for the next 4 days. She went to daycare on her fifth day and went pee-pee in the potty for the first time. She was so proud of herself and screamed "I got Potty Power!" I am sold...I like this video...a little cutsey, but toddler friendly. I do agree with other parents that it is definitely geared toward little girls...Princess themes...sitting down. I don't have boys so I don't know how the whole stand-up/sit-down thing works for the potty. I really like this video and I am glad I purchased it.
The Miracle DVD!!! April 24, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
My son is 3 1/2 years old, and despite all of our efforts, he has been completely resistant to potty training. He tends to be stubborn, and I have noticed that when he sees other kids doing things, it makes him more interested in doing it too. This DVD is amazing...we turned it on, and it wasn't even playing all the way through before he was in the bathroom sitting on the potty!!! Seeing the other kids in the video (not a cartoon), actually reinforced the idea in his head, and he is now on his way to Potty Power! He loves the songs, and I let him watch it as often as he wants. I've heard him singing the songs and reciting the dialogue as he plays. The DVD even teaches proper hygiene like how to wipe and wash your hands.
I had pretty much come to the conclusion that my son would be graduating high school in diapers! Not anymore! This DVD is really a miracle worker in my eyes.
Worthless for Young Toddlers October 19, 2005

This video is worthless for toddlers. It's for kids who are 3 or older. The video shows kids sitting on the potty, but takes no effort to explain why the kids are sitting on a potty. All you see are kids sitting on a potty, reading, playing with toys, or keeping themselves busy until they finally go. From a toddler's perspective, they just see kids sitting and playing. The problem is that a toddler isn't told "what" these kids are actually doing. The video does not show kids what potty is and how and where they should go potty. The video just assumes that toddlers will know that kids sitting on a potty are going pee or poop.
The video also shows kids how to wipe their bottoms by showing kids wiping the bottom of a stuffed animal. Once again, young toddlers will not make the connection that the kids are actually simulating the fact that kids should wipe their own bottoms. Once again, this point will be completely lost on young toddlers. Also, the video spends a lot of time telling kids to wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Let's be real: Parents of young toddlers just want their kids to go to the potty. They don't expect them to wipe and wash their hands. Again, this may work for an older kid, but not a young toddler.
I read a lot of reviews on other potty DVDS and this one kept getting high praise. I'm sure it works for kids who are 3 and older, but it will not help your young toddler at all.
