Anita Cleare

Anita Cleare is an award-winning parenting speaker, writer and coach who supports working parents to balance successful careers with being a parent. Her books have been translated into twelve languages.

Her first book, The Work/Parent Switch, outlines how working parents can use the bits of time left over when work is done to parent smarter not harder and be the parent their child needs. Her most recent book How To Get Your Teenager Out Of Their Bedroom came out to five start reviews in September 2024.

Anita was recently named in The Times as one of the top 5 parenting coaches in the UK. Her parenting advice blog ‘Thinking Parenting’ has been listed in The Sunday Times Magazine as a must-read for parents. She is regularly featured in the media (including the BBC, CNBC and The Telegraph) and is currently appearing as an expert in Series 2 of At Home With Katherine Ryan.

As an accredited Triple P® parenting facilitator, Anita has been working with parents for over 20 years on all aspects of children’s behaviour and wellbeing. She has a postgraduate qualification in developmental psychology, and a talent for helping parents step back and reflect on parent-child dynamics and implement small changes that make a big difference.

Anita speaks at events across the UK and internationally, blending neuroscience, developmental psychology, a sprinkling of humour and lots of empathy to help adults understand children better.
