What if I Want to Sign Up for The Weekend Reset
Without Attending the Free Training First?
The Weekend Reset is a small group live coaching program.
It is not a fit for everyone. It's for highly-engaged, deeply committed parents who are willing to invest in their teen's success and happiness. Kristin keeps the groups small and curated with parents who will truly engage and benefit from the program, so everyone has the best experience. The live training is an opportunity to get to know Kristin's parenting philosophy and coaching style and to understand the process, as she sees it, for resetting your relationship with your teen. Once you understand that you can decide if you can do that on your own or if you would prefer to work with Kristin.
The free, live training is an opportunity for you and Kristin to determine if The Weekend Reset is a fit for your family.
If you find yourself here on a recommendation from someone who has participated in a Reset or from a therapist or counselor who thinks it would be a good fit for you, you may reach out to us directly: [email protected].
Who are the FREE, LIVE TRAINING and THE WEEKEND RESET for?
They are for high-achieving parents: people who are successful in most aspects of their lives, deeply involved in their kids' lives, but still feel like they're failing when it comes to their teenager.
The short (under 10 minute) video above explains why high-achieving parents lose connection with their teens and how most parenting advice fails to address this unique parenting challenge.
In the short video, you'll learn:
How high-achieving parents face a unique challenge most parenting advice doesn't address
Why more rules, tighter control, and stricter consequences won't work with your teen
Why doing nothing and hoping things get better on their own is making things much worse
The three mistakes even the most devoted parents make without realizing it
Why the most important thing you can do for your teen's mental health, and their shot at real success and happiness, is repair your relationship with them.
Your teen isn't broken.
You aren't failing.
You're stuck in a dysfunctional communication loop.
The Weekend Reset helps you rebuild trust, respect, and real conversation
In one weekend, without months of therapy
25+ Years Helping Parents and Teens Reconnect
Here’s what I tell every parent who comes to me exhausted and out of ideas:
You don't need long-term therapy. You need a reset.
I've spent 25+ years doing family therapy, and I still believe in it deeply. But therapy is built for a slow unwinding, one session at a time, over months.
When you're stuck in a loop of misunderstanding and reactivity with your teen, that pace isn't always what the moment calls for.
The Weekend Reset is the fastest, most efficient way I know to break that loop: clear up the misunderstandings, reset how you talk to and hear each other, and give yourselves a real, fresh start to try again.
It's not a shortcut around the work. It's the most direct path to it.
Real Results — without long-term therapy
We give parents the tools, structure and personalized coaching to have a transformative conversation with your teen and begin a new way of interacting.
Built for Busy Parents
Four Zoom sessions fit into any week.
Parents are equipped with everything you need to have two powerful interactions with your teen.*
*Teen participation is less than 90 minutes.
Live Zoom sessions support you
in following the process so you get the results.
The Power of This Format
The format is intentional and has the following benefits:
It truly fits into anyone's schedule. If you can't schedule 60 or 90 minutes into all of the days, you can watch the replay on your own time and communicate with Kristin via email and text.
We cover just enough content each day. Full-day or even half-day workshops are exhausting. We do just enough that it's eye-opening and inspiring.
The "Ah-Ha Moments" have time to simmer. Many of the things you realize about yourself, your teen, and your particular parenting challenges need a minute to process. Sleeping on it is powerful.
The pre-weekend preparation is critical. In fact, the only reason your teen will engage openly with you is because of the work you do leading up to the weekend, so starting on Wednesday is critical.
What Parents Say
FAQs
What is the time commitment for parents?
Parents attend four live Zoom sessions: 90 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday, 60 minutes on Friday and Saturday. You can see the exact schedule once you have registered for a free, live training and have access to The Reset Room community.
What if I can't make all the live Zoom sessions?
You will receive a recording of each session immediately after, which you can watch at your convenience. You will also have access to Kristin via text and email, and if urgent via phone too. Kristin keeps the groups small so she can support every participant through the process. In addition, you have access to coaching from Kristin for the entire month following the weekend of your Reset in her "Month of Mondays" live coaching sessions.
What is the time commitment for teens?
Teens do NOT attend the live Zoom sessions. The only commitment for teens is 20-30 minutes on Saturday and one hour on Sunday.
20-30 minutes on Saturday: Teens are asked to complete two short questionnaires and then read them to their parent. This is quick because parents listen only at this point. They do not rebut, argue or negotiate. Saturday is a "Listening Session," in which parents hear what teens need from them for the relationship to feel better and share their vision for their life.
One hour on Sunday: Having taken time to consider their teen's perspective, parents come back together with their teens on Sunday to have a real conversation to find ways for both to get more of their needs met and have a better-feeling relationship moving foward.
Why does this work when therapy and stricter rules haven't?
Most parenting programs were built for families that lack structure. In families with highly committed parents, the disrespect, silence, and eye-rolls aren’t the real problem. They’re symptoms of a relationship under pressure. Until you repair the relationship itself, no behavior strategy will hold.
The Weekend Reset gives you more traction in a weekend than many families get in months of therapy, because it targets the right problem: the communication, the trust, and the relationship, not the behavior.
Is it only for actual teenagers (13-19)?
Parents of pre-teens, teens, and young adults who are still living in the house or financially dependent are welcome.
Why do I have to attend a FREE, LIVE TRAINING before I can sign up?
The Weekend Reset is not a fit for everyone. It's for highly-engaged, deeply committed parents who are willing to invest in their teen's success and happiness. Kristin keeps the groups small and curated with parents who will truly engage and benefit from the program, so everyone has the best experience. The live training is an opportunity to get to know Kristin's parenting philosophy and coaching style and to understand the process, as she sees it, for resetting your relationship with your teen. Once you understand that you can decide if you can do that on your own or if you would prefer to work with Kristin.
What if my teen won't do it?
This is a common concern, and here’s what 25+ years on the therapy couch has taught me:
Teens want better relationships with their parents just as much as parents want them.
Teens want to be heard, understood, and trusted. They realize The Weekend Reset is an opportunity to be heard when they receive a thoughtful invitation to a "Listening Session" from you.
In fact, the invitation you write out is so important to the process we spend the first two Zoom sessions composing it. And your promise to listen, only listen, without rebutting, arguing or dismissing them is such a rare opportunity to be heard that most teens say yes, even it it's just out of curiosity to see if you will actually uphold your end of the bargain.
How much does it cost?
The Weekend Reset is a live coaching program led by a highly-experienced family therapist and parenting expert. It is not a low-cost, self-paced online video course. We tried that. People bought it but didn't actually do it. We want you to reconnect with your teen and love parenting them. We also don't want price to be the reason you can't get the support you need. So, we don't share the price until we know you understand what you're getting. The first step in understanding the offer is to sign up for the next FREE, LIVE TRAINING. If you've already done that, you can find access to the waitlist and sales pages with all the information you need IN THE COMMUNITY (called The Reset Room) you were granted access to when you registered for the free, live training. Please contact us if you can't find the email with your login credentials: [email protected]
