Five stages. One finish line.

Five stages. One clear path. You start wherever your child actually is.Stage 1 is the foundation — the conversations, the setup, the things that make everything after it easier. Stage 5 is done. Most families come to us somewhere in the middle, and that's fine. We built it that way on purpose.Not sure where you fit? The quick assessment places you in about two minutes — and takes you straight there.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Diapers to Flush took the intimidation out of potty training my son. Instead of fear, I saw myself as the privileged parent who GETS to teach my son a life-long important skill. The wealth of information she offers isn't overwhelming, but rather lovingly curated and organized in stages. You can even listen in podcast form if videos aren't as convenient. A weekly Q&A is available too. Michelle truly can be with you every step of your potty training journey.

We started a fresh round of potty training Saturday morning with all your advice. We've had a lot of success already...He did have pajama pants on last night and pulled them down to go pee so that was great! It's so awesome to see him getting the hang of it finally. Thank you and your staff so much for all your help!!!! He has even snuck off to go pee all by himself a few times. I can tell nap and bedtime and will take a bit more work but I'm super proud of where he is and so happy we are making progress!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What age group is this geared toward?

Children 15 months to 5 years old.

Will this work for my special needs child?

We do touch on certain special needs (especially in stage 5), such as autism and speech delays (which one of our children had). That said, having the framework provided by Diapers-to-Flush may be exactly what your family needs to start or continue step-by-step on your pottying journey. You are absolutely welcome in Diapers-to-Flush and we will never charge more for special needs families, even if it takes a little more effort and training on our part.

This program was developed primarily for neurotypical children, and children who are mild to moderate on the spectrum. Though Diapers-to-Flush will provide the stages and steps, many of our clients with neurodivergent children have also found a personalized consultation a helpful addition for their family. You can learn more HERE.

What is your refund policy?

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, Diapers To Flush comes with a 5-day, full money back return policy.

How long will potty training take with the "Diapers to Flush" method?

Diapers To Flush is a framework meant to guide you and your family throughout your child's unique pottying journey. Our system is meant to shorten the gap in any problem areas your child may run into. Therefore, that is a question we can not answer.

I have specific questions - can you help with that?

Yes, and no. Yes because you will have 24/7 access to submit a question for the monthly Q&A. But no, because we know that many families would like more in-depth, personalized feedback and advice. For those families, we suggest you book a personalized consultation through The Potty School.

I've already started potty training, does this make sense for me?

You can start wherever you're at on your journey. You can update your quiz answers at any time to get content relevant to where you are currently at. It is segmented so that you have the next step and nothing is too overwhelming.

I'm not ready to start potty training yet, does this make sense for me?

Yes! You will find the most success starting Diapers to Flush before you ever start actually potty training because stage 1 lays the foundation for success.
