Potty Training

<t>We were wondering if anyone has any tips/suggestions for potty training OBPI kids- especially dealing with pulling pants up/down.

<t>Without going into detail and without dropping names we were sent to a different set of doctors for an independent medical evaluation.

Re: Guilt and Shame
