Sesame Street - Elmo's Potty Time

Definitely Recommend! (2010-07-27) : 5/5
Our four year old son had been potty trained for awhile when all of a sudden, he began to regress with going #2 in the toilet. He had some painful stool to pass at one point and it scared him and he became afraid of going after that. After much looking around and trying just about everything we could think of, I found this dvd online and decided it couldn't hurt to try it out. I am so glad I did!! After watching it, my son was reminded it's fun to be big and use the potty. Also, that there are other kids out there that are learning to use the potty and other kids that have accidents too. He excitedly told us, "I'm not afraid to go anymore! Other kids are trying too!" br /On this dvd, Elmo, along with many familiar faces from Sesame Street, talk about the fact that accidents happen and it's okay, just keep trying. My son's accidents are non-existent now. This dvd is in the same format as the Sesame Street show. It covers all the basics of potty training and helps make the steps to going potty easy to remember. It also addresses the fact that everyone has different words for pee and poop (however, those are the words they use to describe it most in the show). They have a segment where they show a toilet, then show it flushing to get kids used to the sight and sound and then show a sink running and turning off, then a towel being used and they show all three of these things happening over and over to help cement the steps in their heads. Even my older kids (7 9) were entertained by it. I definitely recommend this dvd to anyone whether you are just starting to introduce the whole potty thing or helping a child who has regressed get excited about using the potty again.

Boring! Boring! Boring! I dont imagine any toddler watches this for any period of time. Completely ineffective and a waste of money :(

Catchy songs and keeps the attention of a two year old. I found my self singing the "accidents happen" song more then I care to admitt. But I feel like this dvd helped a lot with potty training and made it fun for my little boy. Dont expect a dvd to do all the training for you! But it does make a great tool for keeping them thinking about listening to thier bodys needs.
Okay, but some of the books are better. (2010-07-11) : 3/5
My daughter LOVES Elmo, but didn't really get into this movie like I thought she would. It's a little too complex for young toddlers. But it's not a bad movie. It may be good for older children who are motivated by Elmo.
This video is great (2010-07-07) : 5/5
My daughter loves this. We all dance and sing. She is very excited about using the potty. We will start training very soon, this Elmo videos has helped to get her ready to go!
