As parents, we have all experienced the challenges of potty training. Sometimes it comes naturally for some kids while others struggle with for a lengthy period of time. There is no shortage of resources out there to help you in your quest to get your kids potty trained. There are also tricks and tips that parents share with one another. For example, a cheerio in the toilet helps to make peeing a game for boys while helping them to aim. We came across a cute video of a mom who created a catchy song for her 2-year-old daughter. The mom, Stacia Wright, created a song that is catchy while also involving her daughter, Ginneh, in the song to reinforce the idea of going to the potty. You can really tell that the daughter is really into the song with her cute dance moves. While the song’s message is pretty simple (i.e, tell mommy when you need to pee, tell mommy when you need to poop), the method seems like it could really be effective!
For those that are interested in the lyrics, here it is:
You gotta tell mommy when you need to pee
Tell mommy when you need to poop
Tell mommy when you need to pee
Tell mommy when you need to poop
We need to pee pee
Child response:
In the potty
We gotta poop poop
Child response:
In the potty
We gotta pee pee
Child response:
In the potty
We gotta poop poop
Child response:
In the potty
(Sing it all over again from the start)
You gotta tell mommy when you pee
Tell mommy when you need to poop
And then you get a prize (x4)
