I have never potty trained a child before. So giving advice to parents about what the next step will be much easier and have more confidence to give to them.

This course gives me confidence to communicate with parents and assist with the potty training journey.

It cleared up some myths that I have heard my whole life about potty training. I've gained a fresh outlook. Thank you
