Potty Training Doesn’t Have to Be a Sh*t Show.
The Puzzled Parents Potty Training Program
Everything you wish you knew about potty training, taught by a licensed child and family mental health professional with 20 years of experience.
Created by Joanna Flora, a licensed professional art therapist in New York and New Jersey, master’s graduate of Pratt Institute, certified mental health supervisor, PMH-C certified professional, and New Jersey Best Kids Doctor honoree.
I’ve spent 20 years helping children and families navigate developmental milestones, anxiety, behavioral challenges, sensory differences, and situations that traditional parenting advice simply doesn’t address.
Now I’m bringing that experience to your home through a comprehensive, nine-module potty training program.
The professional education. The practical strategies. The answers to the questions nobody talks about.
All for $97.


The Potty Training Expert Who Knows a Whole Lot More Than Potty Training.
You wouldn’t trust just anyone to guide your child’s development.
And you shouldn’t have to.
I’m Joanna Flora, the founder of The Puzzled Parents, and I’ve spent 20 years helping children and families navigate the complicated, emotional, and sometimes downright messy realities of childhood.
My professional credentials include:
But credentials are only part of my story.
I’ve worked with children experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, autism, developmental disabilities, and sensory differences.
I’ve supported anxious first-time parents who question every decision.
I’ve worked with seasoned parents who thought they’d seen it all until their next child presented an entirely different challenge.
I’ve helped individuals develop toileting skills even when others believed it wasn’t possible.
And I’ve spent two decades learning how children’s bodies, emotions, development, environments, and behaviors can influence the way they learn.


That’s why my approach to
potty training is different.
I look beyond the accident.
I consider the child.
I consider the family.
I consider what may be getting in the way.
Because when a child refuses to use the toilet, there’s often more to understand than the refusal itself.
And when parents understand what’s happening, they’re better equipped to respond.
Families Pay Thousands for Individualized Coaching With Me.
But I don’t believe access to quality parenting education should depend on whether you can afford private coaching.
That’s why I created Ditch the Diapers.
I wanted to make the foundational knowledge and practical strategies I’ve developed through 20 years of professional work accessible to more families.
Nine comprehensive modules. Practical resources. Lifetime access. Just $97.
You’re learning from someone who’s worked with children facing complex developmental and emotional challenges.
Someone who understands anxious parents.
Someone who’s been in the trenches professionally and personally.
And someone who potty trained her own son on vacation in Curaçao using beer bottle caps as rewards.
Yes. Beer bottle caps.
Because sometimes you need clinical expertise.
And sometimes you need a little creativity.
I bring you both.
Different Children.
Different Challenges.
For 20 years, Joanna Flora has worked with children and families navigating far more than typical potty training struggles. From developmental differences and sensory sensitivities to anxiety, behavioral challenges, and complex family circumstances, her work reflects an understanding of how many factors.
