Potty training can be one of the most stressful periods in a parent's life. You know, logically, that your kid is going to learn how to use the toilet, but getting them there takes so much coordination, planning—and supplies.
There's the training underwear, the portable potty, the potty seat, and "rewards" for going. But there's also help out there for parents in the form of endless shows and songs that will hopefully convince your little one that using the potty is as easy as can be.
Now there's another one to add to your must-watch list: CoComelon just released 'I Can Do It On My Own!', a potty training song featuring JJ and his friends Nina and Cody.
Now, one of the trickiest parts of potty training, which often results in accidents, is that kids don't want to stop playing to use the toilet. In this song, Nina and Cody help JJ learn that the fun doesn't have to stop just because you're pausing to go potty.
In the accompanying music video, JJ is hesitant to use the potty because he'd rather be playing with his friends. First, Cody uses the potty, singing 'I'm not scared, not today. I can do it, hooray!' He then returns to the game his friends are playing in the backyard.
Then Nina uses the potty, and when she's done, the friends quickly resume their game of hide and seek. Now it's JJ's turn. After seeing his friends conquer the bathroom and keep playing afterward, he marches determinedly off to the potty himself.
Okay, it might not be such a seamless process with a real kid, but this song can help your child develop positive associations with potty. Rather than associating it with playtime ending, hopefully, your toddler's takeaway is that using the toilet just means that. Even more, they will understand that, as the lyrics reinforce, graduating from diapers means 'I'm a big kid, who's really brave.'
The characters can also help your toddler build confidence and feel proud of the new skill they have developed. After JJ uses the potty, he throws his arms triumphantly up in the air and sings, 'I can do this one on my own!'
In the effort to get your kids potty trained, any little bit of encouragement you can provide to your toddler goes a long way, so why not throw this CoComelon song in your tool kit?
'We created 'I CAN DO IT' to be more than just a potty song—it's a confidence booster kids can sing out loud,' Joshua Embury, Music Director at Moonbug, tells Parents. 'Whether your toddler is learning to use the potty, get dressed on their own, or tackle something new, this song is here to cheer them on. Parents know those little milestones mean everything, and we hope this becomes a fun, go-to anthem for celebrating all the 'I did it!' moments at home.'
It's not just potty training that CoComelon can help your kid achieve. Other CoComelon songs help teach your kids good manners and positive eating habits.
