✨ P.S.… we're opening up a few coaching spots.

Coaching has made a huge difference in my own journey, and I’d love to make that kind of support more accessible for you too. If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like to have someone in your corner—who truly gets it—this could be your moment.

Late July hits different when you're parenting a highly sensitive child. While the world is squeezing in beach trips and last-minute BBQs, you’re quietly counting down to the shift—the early alarms, the crowded classrooms, the emotional tightrope of back-to-school. And for kids who feel everything deeply, that transition can feel like a full-body, full-heart recalibration.

This week’s blog post is your roadmap for navigating that shift back to school with less frustration and tears (from all sides). Because easing into a new school year shouldn’t require superhuman patience.

👉 Read the blog now and start the transition with confidence.

New teachers. Aftercare staff. Bus drivers. Lunch monitors. You can’t be everywhere, but our What Helps Me Cards can.

This $5 printable kit gives you ready-to-go, beautifully designed cards that explain your child’s needs before challenges arise. Think of them as quick cheat sheets for the grown-ups in your child’s world so your child can feel supported without having to self-advocate in the moment.

Perfect for handing off at meet-the-teacher night, sticking in a backpack, or giving to anyone new in your child’s routine.

👉 Grab the kit here and start the year with less explaining and more understanding.

One easy way to make first week of school easier is to create a “Back-to-School Preview Binder.” Include printed photos of their school building, classroom, and teacher. You can often gather these at back-to-school night or by emailing the teacher directly. Add a simple visual schedule of their school day and a list of calming strategies they can use if they start to feel overwhelmed, like asking for a break or going to a quiet corner.

Flip through the binder together each night leading up to school and throughout the first week. The more familiar things feel, the less overwhelming they become, and this little binder can serve as a powerful anchor in all that newness.

If your child is dreading the return to school, Tomás Returns to School is exactly the book they need. This beautifully written picture book follows Tomás, a highly sensitive boy with big feelings, as he navigates the overwhelming emotions that come with starting first grade. With the gentle guidance of his mama, Tomás learns how to manage his fight-or-flight responses and face his fears with courage.

We love that there’s a Spanish edition too—perfect for bilingual families or classrooms. It’s a tender, validating story that helps sensitive kids feel seen and strong.

👉 Grab this book before school starts. It’s a gentle way to ease those big back-to-school jitters.
