Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the one that matches the problem taking up the most room right now. The Screen Time Reset is for planning what happens when screens go off. The Mental Load Handoff is for sharing the planning and remembering behind household jobs. If both matter, the Calm Household Kit includes both for $29 — $5 more than either guide on its own. What Nobody Told You About Being a Single Mom is for single moms who want routines, backup plans and words for hard conversations in one guide.

No. Each guide is complete on its own. You can start with one and buy the other later if you need it; the Kit is simply the cheaper route when you already know you want both.

The main 14-day plan is written for parents of school-age children, roughly 6–12. It also includes age-specific guidance and activities for younger siblings, down to toddlers and preschoolers. Choose support that fits your child’s skills and needs rather than treating an age band as one rule for every child.

You can name the work and prepare a request on your own, and the guide gives you wording, examples and a worksheet to make that conversation more specific. Actually sharing ownership needs another adult to agree and follow through. A guide cannot create that willingness.

Yes. What Nobody Told You About Being a Single Mom is written for parents raising children mostly on their own. The screen guide can also be used by one caregiver. The Mental Load Handoff can help you see work to simplify or discuss with someone who can help, but a shared handoff needs another adult to take responsibility. Choose the guide that matches the support available to you.

Single moms raising babies through teenagers: parenting on your own, sharing care across homes, adjusting to separation, grieving a loss, or building the family you chose. It includes smaller versions of routines for days when time, money or energy is short. Other single parents and caregivers can adapt the tools too.

Yes. The co-parenting guidance covers different levels of cooperation, conversations about an absent parent, and situations where individual safety support is needed. If a section does not fit your family, skip it and use what does.

No. Use the linked contents, topic finder or PDF bookmarks to find what you need today, then choose one script, routine or worksheet. Come back to other sections when a new question comes up.

Yes. Every product page shows real pages from the guide, and the homepage has a sample from each one you can enlarge and read. For the single-mom guide, you can also read a free 10-page sample PDF from its product page.

A downloadable PDF guide and its printable tools. Nothing physical is mailed, and there is no app, course or membership.

Your download link appears on the order-confirmation page straight after checkout, and is also emailed to you. If the email has not arrived, check your spam and promotions folders, then email hello@parentresetco.com with your order number and the email address you used at checkout.

No. Read on your phone, tablet or computer and print only the sheets you want to use. The files are US Letter size; choose Fit when printing on A4. The worksheets are designed for writing on paper, not as interactive fillable forms.

The guides are for your own household, and you can print as many copies as your household needs. Please do not resell them or share them outside those terms. See our Terms of Service.

No. Each guide opens with a starting exercise on page 2. Do that one thing, then use the other pages when they become relevant.

You can begin with one routine or one job. For a household handoff, the adult taking the job records the next action and sets their own reminder. For screen time, choose a next activity that fits the adult help you actually have. You do not have to set up every tool at once.

The guide gives you 14 practice days, not a deadline for your child’s reaction. You can prepare a routine today, repeat a step, or pause during a busy week. Children may still feel upset when screens end; the guide includes ways to support them and adjust the plan.

Return to one useful routine or responsibility and look at what got in the way. Both guides include troubleshooting and check-in tools. A difficult week is a reason to adjust the plan, not proof that you failed.

Keep necessary school, communication, medical and disability-support uses available. Choose a change that fits your household and the adult help you have. If a screen is part of a care or feeding plan, follow your child’s professional guidance before changing that support.

Parent Reset Co. brings together lessons passed down through family, published parenting guidance, and research relevant to the challenges each guide addresses. We turn those ideas into clear steps, conversation prompts, examples, and printable tools parents can adapt to their own homes.

These are independently created educational resources. They have not been professionally reviewed or endorsed by the organizations we reference, and they have not been studied clinically. Each guide’s sources section identifies the published material that informed it — American Academy of Pediatrics media guidance for The Screen Time Reset; USC Dornsife research on cognitive household labour plus Eve Rodsky’s Fair Play for The Mental Load Handoff; and World Health Organization, American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC guidance for What Nobody Told You About Being a Single Mom.
