    Why Smart Parents Argue With Their Teens (And How to Do It Right) | Conflict Resolution Tips from a Harvard Expert
    2025/07/07

    Constantly clashing with your teen? It’s not the conflict—it’s how you handle it.

    But here’s the good news: conflict isn’t the problem—it’s how you handle it. Harvard Law negotiation expert Bob Bordone reveals how the same conflict resolution strategies used by world leaders can transform your parent-teen relationship.

    🎧 In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, you’ll learn how to move from power struggles and emotional blowups to productive conversations that build trust, strengthen your bond, and teach teens lifelong skills.

    Avoiding conflict might feel easier in the moment—but it actually weakens your connection over time. Bob explains how to use everyday disagreements as opportunities to teach problem-solving, perspective-taking, and emotional resilience.

    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

    • Why avoiding conflict with your teen may hurt more than help

    • The science of “affective labeling” to calm heated arguments

    • How to stop power struggles and spark better problem-solving

    • Why teens who know how to argue are more resilient and confident

    2025/06/15
    In this must-listen episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, adolescent psychologist and parenting coach Dr. Cam Caswell sits down with writer and professor Nancy Reddy, author of The Good Mother Myth, to unpack the crushing weight of unrealistic parenting expectations. Together, they explore how outdated beliefs about “good” parenting are fueling unnecessary guilt and stress—especially for moms of teens. You’ll learn the difference between helpful guilt and harmful shame, how to let go of perfectionism, and how to reframe your role as your teen grows more independent. Nancy also shares the liberating truth about asking for help and why showing vulnerability is one of the best lessons you can teach your teen.

  • Parenting a Defiant Teen: How to Set Limits When Consequences Don't Work

    Parenting a Defiant Teen: How to Set Limits When Consequences Don't Work
    2025/06/03
    Are you stuck in constant battles with your teen—no matter how many consequences you hand out? You're not alone. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I sit down with renowned psychologist and TEDx speaker Dr. Paul Sunseri, author of Gentle Parenting Reimagined. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Sunseri offers parents a powerful shift: how to stay calm, set firm boundaries, and transform behavior—without yelling or giving in. If you’ve got a strong-willed or defiant teen, this episode will be a game-changer. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE What to do when consequences no longer work with your teen How to set effective boundaries without yelling or power struggles The difference between gentle parenting and permissiveness How to tie privileges (like screen time) to responsibility 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS Shift from “Fixing the Kid” to Changing the Dynamic: Teen defiance is often about the relationship, not just behavior. Focus on how you respond. Speak Calmly and Clearly: Avoid emotional reactions. Use matter-of-fact requests to maintain authority without fueling conflict. Use Privileges Strategically: Tie screen time and other privileges to daily responsibilities—then follow through consistently. Expect Resistance, But Stay the Course: Change won’t happen overnight. Stay patient and consistent even when it’s tough. Believe in Their Ability to Grow: Set high (yet compassionate) expectations. Let them fail and learn—it’s how resilience is built. 🎧❤️ ENJOYING THE SHOW? Don’t keep it to yourself!

  • Supporting Your Teen Through Love, Heartbreak, and All the Feels

    Supporting Your Teen Through Love, Heartbreak, and All the Feels
    2025/05/27
    When your teen falls in love for the first time—or goes through their first heartbreak—it can be emotional for everyone. You want to protect them, guide them, and maybe even stop them from getting hurt. But if you're not careful, your good intentions can push them away. In this episode, I’m joined by journalist, professor, and fellow mom Lisa A. Phillips, author of First Love: Guiding Teens Through Relationships and Heartbreak. Lisa shares powerful insight from her personal and professional journey helping teens—and parents—navigate the emotional rollercoaster of young love. If you’re wondering how to talk to your teen about dating, heartbreak, or those “red flag” relationships without causing shutdown or secrecy, this conversation is a must-listen. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why teens hide their relationships—and how to keep the conversation openHow to support your teen through their first heartbreak without minimizing their painWhat to say when you’re worried about who your teen is datingHow sharing your relationship experiences can actually help your teen make better choices 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS Validation builds trust: When your teen opens up about a relationship, resist the urge to fix it. Just listen first.Judgment shuts teens down: Even one negative comment can drive their dating life underground.Ask, don’t assume: “Dating” might just mean texting or walking to class together—so ask what it means to them.Help them reflect, not rebel: Instead of telling them who not to date, ask how that person makes them feel.Model real-life lessons: You don’t have to be perfect—just honest. Your own dating history can be a powerful teaching tool. 🎧❤️ ENJOYING THE SHOW? Don’t keep it to yourself!

  • Setting Boundaries Your Teen Will Actually Respect

    Setting Boundaries Your Teen Will Actually Respect
    2025/05/20

    If setting boundaries with your teen feels like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall—you’re not alone. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I sit down with Matilda Gosling, social scientist and author of Teenagers: The Evidence Base, to break down the science behind boundary-setting that actually works. No more power struggles. No more guessing games. Just real, research-backed strategies to help you protect your teen and prepare them for the real world.

    Matilda brings both the data and the empathy, helping parents understand where to draw the line, when to back off, and how to keep the relationship strong while doing it. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I being too strict? Too lenient?”—this episode is your answer.

    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
    • Why boundaries help teens feel safe, not smothered
    • How to focus on the rules that really matter (and ditch the ones that don’t)
    • The difference between control and influence—and why one actually works
    • How to set your own boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish
    5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS
    1. Prioritize the big stuff: Health, safety, and emotional well-being come first. Let go of the small battles.
    2. Your boundaries matter too: You’re allowed to have limits—and your teen needs to see them.
    3. Respect their privacy: Snooping leads to secrets. Trust builds openness.
    4. Explain, don’t dictate: When teens understand the why, they’re more likely to follow through.
    5. Mistakes are part of the process: Boundaries aren’t about perfection—they’re about growth.
