Got my 30 month old asking to wear underpants
|
I got this dvd on a whim while shopping at BABIES R US. We don't watch tv and very few videos but he was 2.5 months old and had occasionally shown interest in going to the potty so I thought this might kick him over the edge.
We watched this about half a dozen times between the span of two months. When I saw it I thought it was lame. The sound wasn't that great (we watched it on my laptop) and they skipped things like washing hands which I didn't like. But he enjoyed it from the first viewing and would have wanted to watch it two or three times in a row if I didn't refuse.
Well, I've come to really appreciate this dvd after awhile. First, it REALLY did pique his interest in wearing underpants. I gave it a try but at 2.5 years old he was having too many accidents and I stopped after two days.
Two months later (just this labor day weekend) we gave it another try when he hugged my knees just like the bear did in the dvd and asked to wear underpants again. I decided I couldn't put it off anymore. He had been asking and asking the last few weeks. So we tried it again and used the stickers and lo and behold! He did great and now, three days into it, he did a BIG poop in the toilet. He said, "I made a log poop!"
So we're on our way. Definitely a jump start to toilet training.
Secondly, this dvd does a good job of getting your kid to relate to the bear. At first, Glen the Bear loves diapers. A big fuss is made about how nice diapers are. It turned out to be a good move because my son loves diapers and also if they backslide, it's not like diapers are a bad thing.
They also show Glen counting to 5. The first time my son saw the dvd he couldn't quite count to 5. Very soon afterwards he could count to 10 and he was incredulous that Glen couldn't count to 5 easily. (How quickly they forget.) So it made him feel confident that he was as big a kid if not bigger than Glen and thus also ready to wear underpants. Ingenious.
And the songs are catchy even if my son didn't sing with it.
The dvd is a great motivation dvd. Not very detailed in everything but that's fine with me. I like him to do things a certain way and I wouldn't want the dvd teaching him to do it differently than I like so glossing over details of toilet training is fine with me. I consider it a plus.
My only concern is I don't know how well this dvd would do for girls although I'm told it's for both boys and girls. I certainly felt it slanted towards boys for which I was grateful.
