Care Visions Family Talk | Raising Steady Kids in an Unsteady World

How do we raise steady kids in an unsteady world?

In this Family Talk conversation, Dr Linda de Caestecker is joined by George Hosking OBE, founder of the WAVE Trust and leading expert on childhood trauma, alongside Danny Henderson, Service Manager at Care Visions Residential.

Together, they explore how the last few years have shaped the way young people connect, behave and cope — and what families can do to respond with confidence and clarity.

We discuss:

• How digital life is reshaping identity, attention and attachment
• The emotional toll on parents and carers — and how to respond without burning out
• What trauma-aware, future-focused support looks like in practice
• Grounded ways to build calm, trust and connection — even on the toughest days
