Potty training is a body skill, not just a behavior.

Most children show readiness between 18 months and 3 years, but studies show starting before true readiness can delay success. Toileting requires body awareness, core strength, balance, motor planning, and sensory processing.

If your child struggles with constipation, frequent accidents, or resisting the toilet, it may be a regulation or sensory issue, not stubbornness.

When Writing Feels Hard
If your child avoids writing, presses too hard, or gets tired fast, this leads to frustration and a lack of confidence in their abilities. OT helps strengthen the hands so schoolwork feels easier. We help strengthen the hands, fingers, and forearms, improving fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and dexterity, so your child can focus on what really matters... learning and growing!
