Podcast S1 Ep3: Neurodiversity

Today we tackle the subject of Neurodiversity in relation to ‘child against parent aggression’. We discuss some of the common things that come up, including how hard it is for a neurodivergent person living in a neurotypical world. We talk about adapting strategies and finding out the root cause for behaviour and how the struggles can be even wider for someone who is neurodiverse.

You can find out more about us, what we do on our page for parents/families and for professionals.

Finding Connection with Your Teen During GCSE’s

Finding Connection with Your Teen During GCSE’s

by | Apr 10, 2025 |

In the coming months, thousands of teenagers across the UK will sit their GCSEs. It’s the culmination of years of schoolwork and, for many, a gateway to the next stage of life. But for some young people, it doesn’t feel like that at all.  Instead, exam season can bring fear, anxiety, pressure, and conflict—especially at home.
Many parents are finding themselves in daily battles. Conversations about revision turn into shouting matches. Doors slammed. Tears shed. Some young people may even tip into behaviour that feels unacceptable or unsafe—verbal and physical aggression, or complete withdrawal.
At Capa First Response, we work with families every day who are walking this exact path. And we want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with your parenting. This is hard. For all of you.
