59. 7 Signs You’re Missing Key Connection Moments With Your Tween or Teen & How to Fix It

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.

Are you feeling lost in the shift from parenting a sweet little kid to raising an independent, opinionated tween or teen?

The tween–teen years can catch parents off guard — especially single parents juggling screen time battles, behavior problems, and the emotional rollercoaster of growing independence. In this episode, Tess Connolly LCSW sits down with Nellie Harden, creator of The 6570 Family Project, to share the 5 powerful mindshifts that will help you move from control to connection while setting a solid foundation for your child’s future.

You’ll discover:

• How to handle “The Great Transition” from hands-on parenting to guiding independence
• Simple strategies to connect with each child individually — even if you’ve never done it before
• A mindset shift that turns everyday conflicts into opportunities for trust and growth
