Bear in the Big Blue House - Potty Time with Bear

Rating:
Summary: Enteraining, but not motivating.
Review: My son loved the video. He can sing all the songs to it! However, it in no way made him want to use the toilet. He thought it was funny that the mouse used the toilet, but made no connection to the fact that he should be using the toilet too. I would recommend the book if you want your kids to learn some fun songs while on the potty, but not for much else

Summary: Disappointed...
Review: I added this to my son's giftlist after seeing all the positive reviews on Amazon. Unfortunately, when the video arrived, I was disappointed.

Because the characters do not wear diapers to start with, there was no connection for moving from diapers into underpants. Everyone's naked all the time, LOL!

There was one example of a character's baby pictures showing him in diapers, but in reality you can barely see the diaper. My son was confused and asked me to show him where the diaper was located. (Weird!)

The "Potty, potty!" song sounds just like "Party, party!" so my son asked about a party. ("Birthday party?")

When the accident happened in the episode, I was disappointed that a little urine wasn't shown on the floor - because my son is very literal, so he had no idea what was going on.

The potty episode is one of the three on the DVD. The other two have nothing to do with potty training.

Summary: Part of video scares 3 yr old
Review: This video has a lot of great songs and situations, but the dancing shadow people litterally scare my 3 yr old! We cant run the tape any more because she cries.

Summary: Entertaining - but my toddler is not motivated to potty yet
Review: My son (2 1/2 years old) loves Bear. So, this was a pertect video for him. He is just not interested in potting and this video has not helped to improve his interest. He will potty sometimes when I put him on the potty, and he is proud when he actually goes. He usually asks to go potty after he gone in his pants and refuses to go on the potty when I know that he needs to go. He has been watching the video for about 3 months now - and I will keep trying. One day I know that he will be ready!

Summary: Entertaining, but no success yet!
Review: This is one of the less painful kids' potty training videos to watch, but it hasn't motivated our son to "go" yet. We'll keep trying!

Summary: POTTY TRAIN
Review: My daughter loves this video and she gets excited when the potty train song comes on. She wants to try to use the potty. It is not a video used to teach but more to encourage. She is 2 1/2 and loves bear and his friends. She has a better understanding of what this potty stuff is all about. She usually does better with videos where there are kids in it.
