Today I’m interviewing potty training expert, Jamie Glowacki about potty training and sleep.

Jamie's roots are in social work where she worked with dual diagnoses mothers and their kids. It’s where she learned to teach potty training on a broad scale, learned child development and parenting.

She is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of her popular potty training book.
