In this episode of Your Youth Mentor, I’m joined by Dr. Cam Caswell, renowned adolescent psychologist and parenting coach, to talk about one of the most talked-about topics in modern parenting: tracking your teen.
We explore the rise of tracking apps—and how they’re often used from a place of fear rather than connection. Dr. Cam shares her expert insights on how these tools can unintentionally erode trust, and how to flip the script by focusing on mutual respect, autonomy, and real communication.
We dive into:
- Why the world feels scarier now (and how media plays a role)
- The difference between control and connection
- The importance of two-way tracking
- How letting go can actually build more trust
- Ways to use tracking apps to support—not supervise—your teen
Whether you're deep in the teen years or just starting to navigate digital parenting, this episode will challenge your thinking and offer a new perspective.
