For the first time in our parenting journey, we finally felt like we had a team of support surrounding us that 'gets it'! We have been through so many evaluations and therapies and while some of them offered valuable information, nothing was comprehensive to the level that Jumpstart is. We felt like we finally had a plan for training our child in the way he should go and in a way that he could understand. We had a team of support around us that truly wanted to offer as much help as possible. We felt truly loved and cared for in every way. If you are struggling with your child's behaviors and don't know where to turn, try Jumpstart. It could be the missing piece you have been searching for.

Jumpstart FAQs
When are the live calls and are they required?
The live calls are Mondays at 12:30 CST. The live calls are not required and families are free to leave early or hop on late as needed. All live calls are recorded and sent out each week so families that were unable to make it can watch at their convenience.
I need help urgently. Can I schedule a parent coaching consult before Jumpstart begins?
You can schedule an early consultation with your parent coach. Additional consults are $35.
When do consults included in the cost of Jumpstart begin?
Weekly consults with your parent coach are included in the price of Jumpstart. You can begin scheduling consults with your coach on the day your round of Jumpstart begins.
What day of the week are the one-on-one coaching consults?
Consults can be scheduled at any time according to your coach’s availability. If your coach does not have availability that fits your schedule, you can reach out to them via email to work out a different time.
Is a referring therapist required to sign up for Jumpstart?
It is not required to be referred by a therapist to participate in Jumpstart. If you or your child does see a therapist, we ask that they be listed in the sign up form for our records.
My child is not adopted or was adopted as a baby. Can Unplowed Ground still benefit my family?
Unplowed Ground is designed to equip and support parents of children who have suffered early childhood trauma. This can include trauma in the womb, any kind of medical trauma, maternal postpartum depression, etc. Unplowed Ground is also effective with children that have no trauma history but exhibit challenging behaviors.
My child is a pre-teen or teenager. Can this program still work for us?
YES! Early childhood trauma stunts emotional development. This leads to your child’s emotional age being younger than their actual biological age. We suggest starting the program as is. As your parent coach walks with you through the program, they can point you to supplemental resources we have specifically for teenagers.
I'm not religious. Will this program still work for my family?
This program is for everyone! The attachment theory, parenting strategies, and information on the brain and neuroplasticity are powerful and effective for healing. If you aren’t a person of faith, you will still find a path for moving children toward a more secure attachment. The therapeutic techniques are psychological and physiologic in nature and can be completely implemented independently of the spiritual component.
Are there financial assistance options or resources?
Depending on where you are from, you may have financial assistance options offered by your residing state. Some adoption agencies may also offer scholarships/financial assistance. In Arkansas, we have recently been approved as an EFA vendor under the LEARNS Act. To learn more about this option for Arkansas residents, visit the Arkansas Department of Education’s website.
Are these practices evidence-based?
YES! Unplowed Ground Therapeutic Parenting is grounded in attachment and trauma therapy practices. Use the button below to hear about this directly from attachment and trauma therapist Cindy Brown.
