About Me

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a working mum of two and, like most parents juggling work, life and little ones, I'm pretty time-poor (what parent isn't!).

I created this course because I went into toilet training completely blind with my first (I wish I hadn’t!) and

mid-way through, desperately tried following a rigid, burn-the-ships style guide that ignored developmental readiness and relied on pressure rather than partnership. Spoiler: it didn't work and left us all frustrated.

So I started over. I researched what actually works - reading paediatric guidelines, learning about child development, and finding approaches that respect how toddlers learn rather than trying to force them.

This course combines evidence-based developmental principles with real-world parent experience. It's designed for time-poor parents like me, who want a straightforward, research-informed approach without sitting through hours of videos, with clear checklists, scripts for what to say, and troubleshooting when things don’t go to plan.
