Family Reset Series

The Family Reset Series is a trauma-informed, spiritually grounded, three-book curriculum designed to help families heal together across generations. Authored by Aaron B. Kershaw and published by BuildingBlocs Literacy, this series meets families where they are, emotionally, spiritually, and developmentally. 

Each book is written specifically for a unique age group: Before It Spills for parents, Real Talk for teens, and Little Talks for children ages 7–11. Together, the series forms a unified toolset for understanding emotions, setting boundaries, repairing relationships, and breaking generational cycles.

What sets this program apart is its integrated structure: each chapter in each book aligns thematically, making it easy for families to move through the journey together. The metaphors, “cups,” “spills,” “sponges”, are simple, visual, and usable for every age. Rooted in emotional safety, the curriculum combines practical tools with heartfelt reflection prompts, making it ideal for church groups, ministries, or home use.

It’s not a lecture, it’s a shared experience that nurtures empathy, self-regulation, and trust. Whether used individually or as a family, The Family Reset Series offers a transformative framework for families looking to rebuild with honesty, hope, and healing.
