88. Why Single Parents Who Are Highly Sensitive Need a Different Parenting Approach

"This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior."

You’ll learn the signs of high sensitivity, how to set boundaries, and how to reset emotionally when things feel too heavy.

• Learn the DOES framework and how it explains the unique experience of highly sensitive parents.
• Discover how observational detachment and the thought model can shift your emotional reactivity.
• Explore small, effective self-care rituals designed for sensitive nervous systems—no guilt required.

Press play now to find real strategies and deeper self-understanding—so you can parent from a place of calm, connection, and confidence.
