I'm your host, Therese Connolly, LCSW
Are there days you wish you could push the reset button and start over with your kids that day? Do you ever wish you had a plan of how to start to make a shift with your kids? Someone to guide you along your parenting journey as you make adjustments and has the strategies and the knowledge to help you implement these changes?
That’s what I love to do, support parents with resetting along this path of parenting.
I’m Tess Connolly, parent coach for parents of tweens and teens, founder of the Parenting Reset membership and a mother to a darling tween boy.
The Parenting Reset Show is all about resetting; making shifts and changes both big and small in your family’s life.
