If your teen comes home from school melting down, snapping, or shutting down, it’s not bad behavior—it’s a stressed nervous system. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, adolescent psychologist Dr. Cam Caswell talks with Dr. Jim Costello, creator of the Costello Method, about why emotional dysregulation in teens is neurological, not behavioral. You’ll discover five body-based tactics—including co-regulation, joint-pressure, and movement-before-conversation—that help calm your teen, reduce household stress, and rebuild connection fast.
