Meet Allison

When it came time to potty train my first child, I was quickly overwhelmed by all the conflicting information available online and was really missing the support and science-based guidance I was after. Toddlerhood is challenging enough -- I didn't think was fair for parents to have to guess their way through potty training!

So after mannnnny hours of research (5,000+ to be exact), I created resources that are evidence-based. And now we have an entire community where parents can come together without judgement, ask the hard questions, and get evidence-based facts that drive potty success.
