Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam

Breaking the Cycle of Toxic Parenting with Cari Fund

In this episode, we delve into an incredibly vital topic: breaking free from the cycle of toxic parenting. We're joined by the amazing Cari Fund, a trailblazer in breaking the cycle of toxic parenting.
Together we explore the ease with which we can inadvertently repeat parenting patterns passed down through generations, often without realizing their impact on our children's mental health. Thankfully, with advancements in child psychology, we know have the tools and knowledge to effect positive changes.
Cari guides us through the process of identifying these hidden patterns and, more importantly, shows us how to break them. This journey is not just about improving things for our teens; it is also about transforming ourselves in the process.
Listen in as we shed light on how to nurture healthier and happier families.

Breaking Free from the OverParenting Trap with Julie Lythcott-Haims

In today’s world teenagers are expected to excel in every aspect of their lives—academics, extracurriculars, work, and more. Parents want more than anything for their children to succeed so they often take on a lot of the responsibility and stress themselves. But perhaps we need to take a pause for a moment and question what we mean by success. Could this hyper-focus on achievement actually be hindering rather than helping our children thrive.
In this episode Dr. Cam is thrilled to have Julie Lythcott-Haims with us. She sparks a national dialogue challenging conventional parenting wisdom in her acclaimed book, "How to Raise an Adult," and her TED Talk, "How to Raise Successful Kids—Without Overparenting," boasting over 7 million views (many of which are Dr. Cam’s!)
