Summary
In this episode of The Language of Behavior , Josh and Charle welcome Dr. Cameron Caswell (Dr. Cam), co-author with Charle and expert on teen behavior. Dr. Cam reveals why teen "defiance" is often self-protection, not rebellion, and shares how understanding the powerful, learning-ready teen brain (ages 14-25) changes everything. Key insights include: Partnering with parents without blame—empowerment over finger-pointing Trading compliance for autonomy to reduce power struggles De-escalation tools: Validate emotions, stay calm, offer space Practical responses for yelling, shutdowns, or storming off Plus, hear about Dr. Cam's upcoming book Your Teen Is Not an A$$hole (May 2027) and her work supporting families. Essential listening for educators and parents navigating adolescence, behavior, and high emotions.
