Kate Silverton
Kate Silverton is one of the UK's most familiar faces. A much-loved broadcaster and journalist, she's covered conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, rubbed shoulders with Hollywood's finest on the red carpet at the Oscars, and shone bright as one of the stars on Strictly Come Dancing.
A mother to two young children, in 2020, Kate made what many considered a brave mid-life decision to switch lanes and change careers. She explained that she had followed her heart and found joy, returning to her academic roots in child psychology.
Now a qualified child therapist, Kate combines her time supporting her family, volunteering in clinical practice to support children in need and working privately to help parents find their joy and harmony at home. Her first parenting book, There's No Such Thing As 'Naughty', was an instant Sunday Times number-one bestseller.
Kate's passion is to use her journalism to write about science and parenting in a way that is accessible and entertaining. She combines this with a forensic understanding of neuroscience and neurobiology, which she believes is vital for all of us to know if we are to understand our children's behaviour - and our own behaviour too.
