This course is ideal for parents who can identify at least one of their children as sensitive. The material was created around proven strategies that have worked for hundreds of families I’ve helped in my coaching program. Parents experience the most transformation when they are eager to increase their self awareness, engage in their own inner healing, and challenge themselves to try new ways of being throughout the process. This course is for parents who know there is a better way to live and are ready for change now.

Traits of some (but not all) highly sensitive children include:

• Emotional extremes

• Big reactions to sensory stimulation

• More meltdowns than peers

• A high need for control which can result in rigidity and inflexibility

• Fear and caution in new situations

• A brain that has a difficult time shutting off

• Perfectionism

• Low self esteem and self deprecating thoughts

• High intuition and perception

It’s up to you! Students move through the content at their own pace. All modules will be released immediately upon purchase. This course was originally designed to be taken over 40 days (1 module every 4 days) for maximum results. Whatever your pace, I encourage a daily commitment to stay engaged in practices and intention. Some students have chosen to take in this content over the course of 6 months or 1 year.

This course is self-led since it is designed for busy parents. You have the freedom to create your own schedule! I recommend carving out a two-hours block every week to immerse yourself in the content, as well as 10-30 minutes per day for introspection.

When enrolled in the course, you are invited to set up a 30 minute parent coaching call with Sophie at no additional cost.

You will also be supported by like minded parents and parent coaching, Sophie Schauermann LCSW, on our weekly ROOTED RISING parent connection calls (on Wednesdays at 12pm MT). These weekly calls offer an opportunity to ask questions, receive coaching in the group session, and feel connected to other families that are going through a similar process of growth and learning.

Absolutely! The best results come from co-parents who are willing to “do their work” and learn together. You can purchase one course access and share an account with your co-parent to experience the transformation together.

I recommend scheduling a 30-60 minute weekly meeting with your partner or co-parent to review and share what you both are learning. This will allow you to integrate the material more deeply and create action plans to support your family together.

We ask that you refrain from sharing the course amongst multiple families so that each family can invest in their own transformation.

This course isn’t a good fit for parents who blame their children for their family’s tension. It’s not meant for parents who are unwilling to shift their own perceptions and behaviors in order to support their kiddos.

The course is also not a replacement for therapy. I recommend that parents with kids who have experienced significant trauma get support from an individual therapist (for both themselves and their kiddos).

YES! I am passionate about educating parents of highly sensitive children and want you to get this information asap. Check out the Highly Sensitive Child mini course (under the “courses” tab) as a starting point for a smaller investment ($75).
