  • #186: Understanding And Supporting Your “Troubled Teen” To Help Them Thrive
    Nov 26 2024

    In today's episode I talk to co-founder of Not Therapy Coaching, Hayley Caddes (you may recall episodes 168 and 169 that I spoke to her co-founder, Colin MacDonald)

    Hayley, like Colin, is a former "troubled teen" and together they coach teens and young adults through the same trials and struggles they had as teens.

    Hear Hayley talk about what it's like as a teenager coming out of treatment, the mindset shift you need to make, and the actions you need to take to help them be successful.

  • #184: Positive Reinforcement, Negative Consequences, And Teen Substance Use
    Nov 12 2024

    Today's episode wraps up the series on teen substance use and is a continuation from last week's episode on the methods discussed in the book, Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change.

    If your teen or tween is using substances and you want to know how to best motivate them to change their behavior, this episode and last week's episode 183 is for you.

    Today I'll discuss the importance of collaborating with your co-parent, using positive reinforcement to see the behavior you want to see and natural and negative consequences to discourage the substance using behavior you don't want to see.
