89. From Disconnected to Involved: Rebuilding the Father Role in Family Life

"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."

Do you feel like you're doing all the parenting—but your child’s father still plays a role, whether he’s fully present or not?

• Learn how to start conversations around parenting dynamics—even if things feel tense.
• Discover ways to involve fathers more meaningfully in decisions and daily connection.
• Understand how modeling respect, apology, and teamwork in relationships directly shapes your child’s emotional development.
