Suzanne, Nathan’s Mom

After more than a year of potty training starts and stops, reading books and articles, and trying every method we came across, my husband and I were incredibly discouraged at our inability to help our almost-4-year-old son learn how to use the toilet. He seemed to have no interest in the process, was comfortable in diapers, and each attempt to teach him was met with firm resistance. At long last we reached out to Ruthann for help, and we are so glad we did.

Within a day of starting our customized plan for Nathan, he was sitting on the potty and having success. And in less than two weeks from our start date, he was potty trained (even at nighttime)! With Ruthann’s thoughtful and encouraging guidance, we learned what we needed to do to help him, how and when to let him take the reins in the process, and why some of our previous attempts likely hadn’t worked for him. Ruthann was always quick to reply to any questions I had, and having that back-and-forth dialogue instilled me with the confidence I needed to help our son, which in turn gave him the confidence to master this important skill on his own. I can’t recommend Ruthann highly enough — she is wonderful to work with, and we are so grateful that she helped us reach this milestone.
