Potty Training Videos

I don't know of anything that really works because every kid is so different. I must say though that you are starting pretty early and I commend you for that. Most boys aren't ready until they are about 3. I do recommend teaching them how to pee while sitting down. Once they are older and have control of themselves they can stand up if they want to. All they have to do is spread their legs apart and lean forward a little bit and it goes right where is should instead of on the floor.

Check out your local library, I have seen a few good ones at the Dakota County library, then you don't have to buy it until you know you like it.

My daughter has the very educational, if slightly gross, Everyone Poops. At least your child won't have a complex about it if you get this book. My daughter also carries potty time Elmo around with her. He comes with his own potty and she can help him go after he drinks his juice. Sometimes he misses, which he explains is ok and he will try again later.

Good Luck. I have a 3.5 year old and I'm still working on it.

Anyway, the dvd "Potty Power" is good - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002B55DO/sr=8-3/qid=11....

My son also loves the book "Where's the Poop" - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060530898/sr=8-1/qid=11....

Many of the preschool characters also have potty dvds and books and he may identify more if Elmo or Bear in a Big Blue House is teaching him about it too.

My only advice, be patient... very very patient.

I've heard that Bear in the Big Blue House works! It's been recommended to me by a friends who swears by it.

I don't have any video recommendations, but we really enjoyed Once Upon A Potty by Alona Frankel. I also would be interested in a good potty training video...

Are you familiar with the Disney Show "Bear in the big blue house"? This particular show from disney has a video dedicated to talking about using the potty. Bear even says the word poop which blew me and my mom away as we were using that word with my daughter when she was potty training and a one of my aunts didn't feel we should have used that word. It was really helpful and fun for my daughter. The covered the subject of having to go potty when you are in the middle of having fun, and bear(who is the shows main character)streesed that is is always okay to take a potty break when you need to. The vidoe also covered how accidents happen and that its okay. They even have one of the other characters ask bear what to do if they need to go potty when they are not at home. My dd loved the vidoe and as a parent I will do nothing but sing its praises

Toilet Training in Less Than a Day" by Nathan H. Azrin, Ph.D. and Richard M. Foxx, Ph.D - members of my mom's group swear by this one! "Toilet Training Without Tears" by Charles E. Schaefer, Ph.D and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo - was referred by my doctor. I was told abouthese book I haven't had time to get them yet. My two year old just started potty training we are starting with putting him on the potty when he get up in the morning and after nap time. So far it is working then he gets to put a sticker on a poster broad that he help color. Hope it works out for you.
