Why can't the teenage years be easy? Why can't your kid just clean her room when you ask, and without the eye roll? In this episode adolescent psychologist Cameron (Dr. Cam) Caswell, PhD explains how our expectations as parents influence our teen's growth and development, and not always in the way we want it to. We talk about the differences in parenting our kids today versus how we were parented, what’s missing from our communication when we want our kids to comply with our requests, and how so many of us are getting chores wrong (seriously, can you imagine having a teen who wants to do chores?). This episode will equip you with the tools to transform your relationship with your teen through communication and mutual respect. It's a must listen!
