Go Potty Go! - Overview
Go Potty Go! is an animated cartoon starring Paige and Parker Panda and their animal friends. Paige and Parker use a potty chair and wear big kid underpants. After learning all about using the potty, viewing children can march along with Paige and Parker in the Big Kid Parade.
The Go Potty Go! program uses fun songs, cute stories, and games to teach kids and help them feel comfortable about the strange and new experience of using the potty. The characters use the potty terms, show what a potty chair looks like, and go over proper wiping and hand washing.
Go Potty Go! - Guide Review
The cute songs and characters in Go Potty Go! make the subject of using the potty fun and delightful, which helps kids get used to the idea of potty training and feel good about it. While the DVD itself may not incite a child to run for the potty chair and immediately go, it will help kids get over the fear of the unknown by making the whole process familiar and casting potty training in a positive light.
What the DVD lacks is strong examples of other children learning about and becoming familiar with using the potty, as the focus is mainly on animated characters. Kids generally respond well to examples of other children, so using the animated characters may not be quite as effective.
The DVD has a distinct benefit, though, aside from those already mentioned - it is short! With a runtime of only 20 minutes, kids get a fun-filled, information packed viewing experience that is short, sweet and to the point.
