The kit includes a progress chart/game, a potty chart telling the child the steps, a book (that is almost word for word the same as the video!) and a DVD including a couple music videos. Also, the website is available for more interaction with the characters and music. When the child has succeeded at staying dry there is a certificate to print out!
One thing I really like about this package is the repetition and the clarity with which the producers have taught the concept. My 3 year old daughter is day trained and we didn't use any program or package; she just got it one day. But she, too, enjoys this. It is a great reminder to all my children to use small amounts of toilet paper (clogged toilets here!!!), to flush and to wash their hands. (Those are our problem areas!) Anyway, I love how easy to read the charts are, how the chart is in the book and the DVD and how easily my older girls can "read" the chart to remind the littler ones!
Another thing I love is that the whole package is reusable! The chart can be used for multiple children as can the DVD and the book. Now if we happen to be training a girl next (which we will be when little R gets to that age) we may have to consider getting the girls' version! Then we'll be set for however many children we happen to have!
The game is hands-on but not something that I would allow my littles to play with. I think a great addition to this product would be something the child can manipulate while sitting on the toilet waiting to go or a puppet to sing with the DVD and songs. My children are always in such a hurry to get back to playing. If there was something to keep them on the toilet a little longer, we might have success sooner! Then again, the book could do that too! I guess you just have to find what works for you!
This package is a great addition to a parent's arsenal of tools in the potty training saga.
