Parenting Reflections: The Toughest Parenting Moment I’ve Faced in a Long Time—What Went Right, What I Did Wrong, & How I Moved Forward With My Highly Sensitive Child
Some parenting moments feel impossible—and in this episode, I’m sharing one of the hardest I’ve had in a long time. It was a perfect storm of exhaustion, overwhelm, and a tough transition for my oldest, who’s struggling with the shift to middle school. When a big emotional explosion hit right at dinnertime, I didn’t handle it perfectly—but what happened next changed everything.
I’m pulling back the curtain on what I did wrong, what I did right, and how I turned a moment of chaos into connection. Because let’s be real—parenting highly sensitive kids is a rollercoaster. The key is learning to see what’s underneath their big emotions so you can respond in a way that actually helps.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting it right, this episode is your reminder that even the hardest moments can lead to powerful breakthroughs. And if you want to better understand what’s really behind your highly sensitive child’s behaviors and unkind words, grab my free guide, 10 Things Your Highly Sensitive Child Needs You to Know—it’s a game changer.
