90. How Resetting the Parent-Child Connection Can Improve Behavior and Communication

"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."

Does your tween talk back, shut down, or push your buttons—and you don’t know how to get through to them?

In this powerful episode, Tess is joined by parenting coach and author Sarah, who shares a parent-centric approach that helps parents reconnect with their child and themselves. Together, they explore why behavior like back talk is often a signal—not defiance—and how to use positive discipline and repair to rebuild trust and communication.

• Learn what back talk really means and how to respond without shame, punishment, or power struggles.
• Understand how your inner child may be showing up in your parenting—and how to use that insight to heal.
• Discover Sarah’s Story Teaching method and how to use it to guide your tween toward better behavior and emotional growth.

Press play now to learn how to reset your parenting with tools that strengthen—not strain—your relationship with your tween or teen.
