Summary: It helped our son.
Comment: My son began watching this dvd at age 20 months and loved the potty idea. For months, he sat on his
potty, played with toilet paper, flushed and washed his hands. He has never shown any resistance to
sitting on his potty or the toilet. Finally, at age of 2 years and 3 months he finally "pee pee'd"
in the toilet. He loves the dvd and has been very enthusiatic about using a potty. The poor thing
just can't coordinate timing with his bladder. He's on the right track. I also recommed the Sesame
Street cushioned toilet ring as he prefers the toilet to his potty. I also purchased the Elmo potty
plush doll which has been great is demonstrating the need to use the toilet after drinking water. He
loves helping the plush Elmo doll use the potty. I recommend buying this dvd earlier than later.
Even if your child is not ready, it teaches other important skills like hand washing.

Comment: Bought it for my 22month old being potty trained. Elmo made potty training alot easier. We were
going to the potty alone within a week thanks to this Elmo DVD

Summary: Get Excited About the Potty!
Comment: If you expect a video to show your kids all the specific steps involved in using the potty, you
better look elsewhere. Or better yet, teach them those things yourself. The main objective of this
video seems to be encouraging kids, instilling pride, and getting them excited about being a big
kid, wearing underwear, and being free from diapers. I think it is a good video to use when your
child already knows how he/she is suppose to use the potty, but they just aren't all that interested
yet. Also, it is for kids old enough to hold their interest through a pretty long video. My
daughter begs to watch this all the time. My husband and I get a kick out of it, also. We
especially like all the catchy songs. And, it is great how nobody in the video is shy about talking
about poop and pee.

Some reviewers complained about filler, but I like that so much
is covered, even if it is just to get kids interested in how toilet paper is made, or about trying
things and never giving up, in general. Though my daughter isn't completely potty trained yet, this
DVD has certainly piqued her interest more than we could have done on our own.

Summary: Great
Comment: My son likes this video a lot. He's had it since he was about 18 months and he's 2 now. I'm not sure
if is quite connecting the video with his own using the potty yet or not, but Elmo is as
entertaining as always. I'm sure seeing and hearing about the potty on Sesame Street is helping him
with the process. He is doing surprisingly well so far with his potty training. Maybe this helped?
Either way, it's a lot of fun!

Summary: Funny and Helpful
Comment: We decided to let my 21 month old daughter watch this prior to hard core potty training so that she
would become at ease with the subject. It has certainly helped.

I was really surprised
to read some of the bad reviews. For one, Elmo's Dad does NOT sound like Chef from Southpark. And if
he was voiced by Issac Hayes, that would have been great too! His voice brings back fond memories of
School House Rock (think "I'm Just A Bill"). If it was intentional, it was genious as his character
felt nostalgic to me even though I had never seen him before. Next, there is a segment in which kids
yell out what they call poop and pee. It's funny. One of the reviewers was offended but I feel that
if my daughter sees big kids and Elmo speaking so comfortably about poop and pee, then it minimizes
the stigma and will make her more comfortable about it all. I think that being uptight about poop
and pee makes you, well...constipated. And that is counter-productive.

OK, so, the
songs are cute. My daughter sings and dances. The language is very clear and comprehensive with
subtle side jokes for parents. My daughter gets the message. And it is very very supportive and
encouraging which makes me happy. Oh, and Grover is in it, which also makes me happy.
/>I recommend this Elmo film. We have watched it daily for two weeks and I am not tired of it.
Neither is my daughter. She went from pulling her potty apart in play to actually sitting on her
potty (clothed). She has also told me that she is almost ready to try to use it. So, we're happy.
