LIFE CHANGING STORIES
From Real Parents Just Like You
Erin | Mom of 1
This is an amazing resource! We started working through it a few weeks ago and my sensitive one, who's starting JK next week, has loved it. Every time someone asks how she's feeling about school she identifies feeling nervous and then legit says "but I have a work book that helps". I won't lie, I hesitated buying it because as a therapist myself I felt confident supporting the transition but there's something about her having the physical pages to go back to that seems to have really helped her.
Betsy | Mom of 2
Just spent a nice 30-40 minutes going thru the school toolkit. We decided we'd put the 'after school calm down' examples on the fridge so she could remember some options. After I told her firmly that no, she can't spit on me, she proceed to tantrum, and in the next 20 minutes while I worked outside on a project, she practiced being angry and going thru all the options on the sheet.
Marie | Mom of 2
This toolkit is exactly what I needed to prepare my sensitive daughter for starting kinder. The 5-step-plan helped us show her exactly what to expect when starting school. She went on her first day feeling so confident! Thank you!
Chrissy | Mom of 3
Jess, I found the school toolkit so helpful. I loved the ‘get to know my teacher’ section. It helped my daughter feel safe with her teacher once school started. It’s still hanging on my fridge. Thank you.
Shannon | Mom of 3
My highly sensitive son was very fearful of taking the bus or even talking to his teacher. We are using the 5-step plan to make the transition to school next year easier, and it’s already feeling like it will be much better for him! Thank you!

As someone who did your separations and goodbyes course and school toolkit last year I can honestly say it's the BEST thing we did to prepare our little one to go to junior kindergarten. She was so prepared, no tears at drop off, and we felt good too! HIGHLY recommend to every single parent!!!

Need to thank you for the school toolkit. Started it on the weekend... today was the first day my sensitive 4 year old didn't have a huge meltdown at drop off. When I picked her up she told me how she remembered that I loved her and even showed me the love note I gave her from the toolkit. The work you and your team does changes lives. Thank you so much!!!
A REAL FAMILY MAKING CHANGE
Emily’s Story
Emily struggled with her son's sleep for years, who is now eight years old. Here is her sleep story.
Dad of 1
I wondered if it was too late…
My husband travelled for work, and our bedtime routine got harder and harder. To the point where my son wouldn’t sleep without me. He is 8. I questioned whether things were too far gone or if we’d need to co-sleep forever.
Dad of 1
Just one night and I saw change!
Tonight, I did the Connected Hearts. And oh my, the way it melted his heart...beyond words. Since he’s 8, I was able to talk to him about his fears, worries, etc. He listened. Seeing how much my effort to feel close to him already made him feel safe in just one night means the world. I already know bedtime will be easier moving forward.
Dad of 1
It’s what we both needed.
This approach was exactly what my son and I needed. He loved knowing I was coming back to check on him, and it left both of us feeling so much better than the old bedtime struggle we were having for years. I feel like we are working through a solution that makes sense. Thank you so much for your advice!!
