Care Visions Family Talk

In this one-hour interview with live Q&A, hosts Linda de Caestecker, a Public Health Doctor, and Scott Kyle, an Actor and Foster Carer, were joined by renowned parenting expert Anita Cleare for an engaging and insightful conversation on parenting and caring for teenagers in today’s fast-paced, noisy world.

Drawing from her latest book, How to Get Your Teenager Out of Their Bedroom, Anita shared everyday actions to build stronger connections, practical blueprints for encouraging reluctant teens to engage, effective communication tips, and strategies for handling many of the challenges parents and carers commonly face.

Listeners gained a much deeper understanding of teenage dynamics, along with actionable tools and strategies to support them through this often-tricky stage. The session opened the door for greater confidence in navigating the teenage years, whether you're a parent, carer, or simply looking to support young people more effectively.
