NEW ARTICLES

I had a great time at the Marilyn Denis show yesterday in her segment on Taking the Stress Out of Potty Training. From when to start the process and why it can be so difficult, we talked about the differences between physiological and psychological readiness, from first stage training to body awareness, why girls potty train earlier than boys, and tips that will encourage your child and make potty training fun.

If you missed the show, you can watch it on the Marilyn Denis Show website here.
