This is a sensory tool designed to aid releasing in early training through prolonging toilet sits and gentle distraction through sensory input.  Please Note: not every child receives the sensory input the same way and if your child has a long-term pattern of withholding urine, this tool may or may not assist them, it simply depends on how the child responds to it.  

Q. What is the science behind the wands?
Help your child relax quickly through gentle distraction with the help of hand-held vibrations.  Activate the parasympathetic nervous system faster to promote relaxed release.  Quicker, smarter training because potty training is a challenging time.....for everyone.  

Package includes two sensory wands--recommendation is to have one wand for each hand.
One AAA battery required for each wand.

FAQs about Potty Release Wands
Q. Will my child become dependent on the wand in order to release? 
A.  A comparable example would be like learning to ride a bike.  A child starts off with training wheels but once they get riding successfully several times, they realize that they don’t actually need the training wheels and will happily ride without.  The wand may only be used for a short time, but when you’re in the middle of potty training and it's a highly stressful time, every hour and minute you save helps immensely.  In addition, the wands have an additional LED light feature and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages post-potty training!  

Q. Who developed the wands?
A. The wands were created by a Certified EMDR Therapist (Trauma/PTSD specialty) that understands how the nervous system both inhibits and promotes resolution toward a particular goal.  In this case, it’s potty release/potty training. 

Q. What stage of potty training are these wands ideal for? 
A. It’s ideal to begin training with the wands to override the fight or flight mode of the nervous system as early into training as possible but the wands can also help with a child who has regressed, a child who is having intermittent successes but seems reluctant or afraid to release, and especially for children who have experienced withholding trauma or a traumatic experience with potty training at any point in time. *Please Note: our wands are most helpful if your child is already comfortable sitting on the toilet.  If your child is not already comfortable with merely sitting yet, it's advisable to not introduce the wands until they are and you are ready to help them release comfortably.  

Q. What about using a laxative, wouldn't it provide the same result?
A. Using laxative comes with more risks.  You risk not knowing when stool will actually come out/getting to the potty in time; you also risk creating a traumatizing experience for your child.
