Japanese Potty Training Video
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies
I'm always on the lookout for new potty training propaganda. We have the Bear in the Big Blue House Potty Time With Bear DVD. (I admit, I love Bear.) We have books about pooping. We eat, sleep and talk poop in this house. We also tend to play with it at nap time.
It is good to know that I'm not the only person out there dealing with poo issues. Here's a potty training video in Japanese! Honestly, I have no idea what the people on the video are saying, but I'm totally digging the little pooplet in the potty.
When it comes to potty training, what books, videos or TV shows have helped you? My daughter won't listen to me, but if Barney tells her to go number two in the potty, I have a feeling she'd listen.

thordora said...Am I the only one with an evil daughter who will NOT use the damn thing? Or am I only weak willed? I cannot get consistancy out of her at all, and this is the same child that used the potty for the first time about this time last year. I'm about ready to scream with it all, but I still don't think I could handle a Barney potty movie. I have enough trouble reading the Barney books with 'BJ" in it....

karrie said...I have a son abt the same age--he'll be 2 in early August. He picked out a book one day called "Big Boys Use The Potty". He's book obsessed, and very interested in mimicing right now. He also thinks a flushing toilet is waaaay cool.
I'm not sure I could handle a Barney video about poop either. My husband bought a book called Zoo Poo, and that about pushed me over the edge. "Tigers doo doo to make room for lunch! Elephants doo doo bigger than you" and doo doos ad nauseum....)
Anyway, I'm of the mindset that he'll train when it clicks for him. He's interested, so I let him have the opportunity--wears undies at home and easy access to a potty and the Big Toilet-- and encourage his interest. I do not think we'll be buying any additional books or videos abt toileting.

Tami said...We are in the process of potty training our son who is 3. He is great at peeing, not so good at pooping on the potty. I just did a "post on a technique":http://www.welcometoparenthood.com/articles/2006/07/11/potty-training-tip that we are trying to encourage this behavior.

Jennifer said...I didn't have TiVo back then but a TiVo newsletter a few months back had some notes from moms who had set up wish lists to record childrens shows with the word "potty" in them. They managed to get a varietyof kids shows (animated and live action) that they could let their budding toilet user watch. If you happen to have a DVR I think it would be worth a try.

Lin said...I just saw a Blues Clues episode called "Morning Music" which has a lot of singing about Blues' morning routine and there was a song about using the toilet ("gotta sit, wipe, flush, wipe etc"). And the song was quite catchy- well, I had trouble getting it out of MY head!

Sandy said...Toilet Training in Less Than a Day.
There is no better book out there.
This method was developed to teach retarded adults to toilet themselves. Thirty and fourty year old men and women who had never toileted themselves before.
A really important point...*dry pants* is the desired behavior, not using the potty. Anyone can sit on a potty for 1 1/2 hours and eventually put something in it. It's keeping your pants dry that contains the victory.
The training involves a pee-ing doll, the kid's favorite snacks and lots of drinking. Turn off the phone, tv, doorbell and plan to spend the day with just you and the trainee. Salty rewards lead to more drinking (even sodas and caffeine) which leads to more opportunities to get that full feeling, recognize it and then use the loo.
Ya gotta read this book.
