A note from Kathleen
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist with 28 years of clinical experience, and the creator of Potty Without Pressure™. I built this guide for parents who've tried everything and are starting to wonder if something else is going on — because most of the time, there is. This isn't about doing more. It's about understanding what your child's nervous system needs first.
