Your Teen is (Not) An A**hole is the no-nonsense, game-changing guide for overwhelmed parents—because the old parenting advice just isn’t cutting it anymore.

In this bold and refreshingly honest book, adolescent psychologist and parent coach Cameron “Dr. Cam” Caswell, PhD—also known as The Teen Translator—draws on decades of experience working with parents and teens to challenge the tired, fear-based narratives about adolescence. With wit, warmth, and zero judgment, she reveals what is actually driving your teen’s behavior, and exactly how you can shift your response to create real connection and lasting respect.

At the heart of the book is her COLLABORATE Method: a simple, proven framework that helps parents raise resilient, respectful teens while staying calm, consistent, and confident—even when things get messy. Packed with real-life scripts, science-backed strategies, and raw insights from actual teens, Your Teen is (Not) An A**hole doesn’t tell you how to control your teen, it shows you how to work with them. It’s a mindset reset that empowers you to parent with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

If you’re exhausted by daily battles, tired of second-guessing yourself, or just desperate to connect with your teen before it’s too late, this is the book that will change everything. You don’t have to just survive the teen years—you can actually enjoy them.
