Parents often tell me they don’t feel motivated to potty train…

I don’t think its motivation. I really don’t want parents feeling down on themselves. I think potty training feels so unpredictable and unknown that sometimes it gets shelved.

Parents tell me they have spent hours and hours googling how to train, asking a friend, sharing about it on Facebook groups, checking out Pinterest posts and feeling overwhelmed.

What these parents need is clarity, direction and confidence. Here is where I come in… I can set it out clearly, share hacks, resources, give you a plan, explain in detail, answer questions.

Shake off the stress

Let’s make this fun

Empower your child

Positive associations for life

Principal Lisa, aka The Potty Queen

You may know me as Principal Lisa.

I am an Ex Nursery School Principal in Dubai and I have worked with babies and children of all ages in a variety of ways for the last 33 years. During this time, I have been fortunate to work closely with hundreds of families as I came alongside them to guide and support them in family life. I’ve worked my way from a hands on nanny work to leading nursery settings. 

I guide families to find the root cause of unsettled young children and to work through to a solution with ease and growth…

Quite simply, my goal is to empower you to empower your child. Each child is unique and I dig around in my treasure chest of wisdom to find the tools you need for your little one.

Over the last three years of working solely in the community every case has taught me the power of simple practical solutions. Its these easy to apply ideas that have made the difference for families facing challenges
