Single Parenting Reset Show: For Solo Parents of Tweens and Teens — Manage Behavior Problems, Reduce Screen Time & Improve Communication
If your tween turns simple requests into a debate—homework, screens, bedtime, chores—you’re not alone. In this episode, you’ll get parenting help for tweens that’s practical, calm, and usable tonight.
Tweens (roughly ages 9–12) are in a developmental stage where they’re practicing independence—so pushback, eye rolls, and “I KNOW!” can spike fast. The problem isn’t that you’re doing it wrong—the problem is that most parents don’t have a simple in-the-moment structure to stop escalation before it takes over the whole evening.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have:
