In today's 201st episode of Speaking of Teens, I'm sharing the framework I teach inside Parent Camp, how I developed that framework, and why Parent Camp may just be the answer you've been looking for.

If you've been listening to the podcast but you're still trying to figure out how to implement some of the strategies I discuss, you just might need the extra help you'll get in Parent Camp.

Registration for Spring 2025 Parent Camp is now open until Tuesday, February 25th at 7 pm CST.

If you've ever been interested in Parent Camp, this is your chance to learn all about it.

There's no world in which, after punishing, lecturing, or yelling at your teen for their misdeeds, they will say:
"Thank you for that. I now understand the error of my ways and I will henceforth endeavor to adhere to your behavioral standards." Not gonna' happen.

In this 200th episode of Speaking of Teens, let me help you understand why authoritarian, obedience-first, behavior-focused parenting doesn't work with teens (or with any kid, for that matter).

"Putting the fear of God" in your teen, will actually cause more dysregulated, risky, bad behavior than you can handle. Let me tell you why and what works instead.

If you're at the end of your rope with your teen, feeling lost, anxious, wondering where you've gone wrong--this episode's for you.

Maybe your teen's using substances, not listening, angry all the time, getting in trouble, or really struggling with their mental health. It's easy to become overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or to feel completely lost.

I know exactly how you feel because I've been there. And in today’s episode I’ll explain why the people and places we often depend on for help in these situations, can’t fully resolve the situation (and how you have much more power to change things than you realize).
