You’ve Tried Everything—and You’re Still Walking on Eggshells?
If conversations with your teen feel like one wrong sentence away from a blowup…
Pause.
Take a breath.
If you’re here, it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because what used to work… doesn’t anymore.
And no one warned you that this part would feel so confusing.
Why “Pushing Harder” Backfires With Teens
Most of us were taught to focus on:
• compliance
• consequences
• getting kids to “listen”
But teens don’t grow responsibility through control.
And connection without leadership doesn’t work either.
That’s why:
• pushing harder creates resistance
• backing off feels permissive
• and nothing you try seems to stick
The goal most parents were taught—to fix their behavior—no longer fits this stage.
This has been a lifesaver, for real. I've applied what I've learned and I feel closer and more connected with my son than I have in the last 6 months. I'm tearing up writing this...Thank you a million times. THANK YOU! ~ Tracy C.
The Risk No One Talks About
Most parents don’t drift apart from their teens overnight.
It happens quietly.
You bring things up less—because it’s exhausting.
Your teen shares less—because it feels safer not to.
Conversations get shorter.
Distance grows.
Influence fades.
Most parents don’t realize how far things have drifted until “just talking” suddenly feels hard.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need a better strategy.
A Strategy You Can Depend On
The COLLABORATE Method™ is a repeatable way to respond —when your teen pushes back, shuts down, melts down and everything in between.
Parents who have used this method say:
“My teen actually talks to me now. I didn’t think that was possible.”
“We went from daily battles to actual conversations.”
“Our home feels peaceful again.”
Not because problems disappear.
But because they know exactly what to do next.

Hi, I'm Dr. Cam
I built this method because I kept meeting parents who cared deeply…
and still went home to the same fights, the same shutdowns, and the same question:
“Why can’t I get through to my own kid?”
Most advice sounds great when you’re calm and scrolling.
Real life isn’t calm.
It’s slammed doors.
Eye rolls.
And moments where one wrong move feels like it could make everything worse.
You need something you can actually use—in those moments.
That’s what this is.
