What Parents Are Saying
Shonelle Q., Mom
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"This program was a LIFE SAVER! Before we found this course, we had literally read every book we could find on potty training and tried every method, and after years of failing our five-year-old son was back in pull-ups. After three weeks of following the program, he was wearing cotton underwear, successfully using the toilet, and taking full responsibility for his accidents. The best part was how empowering the program was for him. All the methods we'd tried previously eventually devolved into power struggles, and I was worried such intensive protocols would lead to the same. However, we were thrilled it was quite the opposite-- the program engaged him positively and became a lasting foundation that we've been building on since. I can't imagine we would have made the progress we did any other way. The coaches were so encouraging and responsive, offering the guidance we needed to be successful. We were blown away by how much effort the coaches put into working with us and are deeply grateful for this course and support."

"This program was the only thing that helped improve my 6-year-old son’s accidents that were happening daily. We even took a trip and my son had no accidents on the airplane. It was amazing. I would say we saw a 90% improvement within a few days!"
Ben, a 13-year-old, nonspeaking male, with very aggressive behavior who never showed any continence skills and a history of potty training failures...
Ben was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay and had very aggressive behavior. He scored at 2 years and 4 months for communication, 3 years and 1 month for daily living skills, 2 years and 3 months for socialization, and 5 years and 11 months for motor skills. He wore a pad at all times. After implementing the toilet training program we reveal in this course, Ben became independent in toileting within 2 weeks and maintained success at the 6-week and 24-month follow-up. The toilet training elements revealed in this online educational course have toilet trained the most profound cases...

"I don't know how to potty train my child..."
You may be wondering a little about how why I decided to create this course....
As a pediatric occupational therapist and business owner...
this is something that I hear a lot....
Parents that are struggling potty training their child...
and therapists that are not sure how to help families....
After working with several families and therapists on this topic...
I decided to create this course.
I had already created a course on helping children with stress and anxiety around fear of pooping...
but teaching a child with special needs about the concept of potty training was different.
And so I decided to put my knowledge together along with the resources that I have created and used with family together into one course!
I invite you to join us now.
And get access to not only this course, but all the content and tips and strategies that I use, and teach others to use....
