Where Parents Talk Website For Parents

Since 1996. Established in 2003. Always evolving.

We inspire confidence in moms and dads so that they can parent with relentless optimsim to raise happy, thriving children.

We do this by providing the parents of 15-24 year olds with evidence-based, pre-vetted, highly researched long-form interview in a variety of formats that save them time, effort and the repercussions of acting on the misinformation that is so readily available elsewhere.

We recognize that only those who have experienced parenting can be parenting experts, and we celebrate the expertise that each parent brings to their own child’s journey.

We provide a non-judgmental community of peers who help by offering their own experiences and insights to some of parentings’ most pressing and timely problems

About Lianne

Lianne Castelino - Where Parents Talk parenting websites

LIANNE CASTELINO
Founder & President
Where Parents Talk

 

 

Lianne is a wife, mom of three, a broadcast journalist, entrepreneur and communications professional.

The seed for a parenting-focused business was planted in her mind while taking pre-natal classes with her first child, in 1996. Back then, there were few Canadian-produced video resources for parents.

See Lianne’s full bio or read her story.

Her passion stoked the entrepreneurial flame and led to Liandrea.com, Liandrea Productions Inc., and finally, WhereParentsTalk.com.

Along the way, the production of two award-winning, how-to DVDs featuring leading medical experts in baby care and nutrition. These products have been sold in WalMart, Costco, Amazon, Chapters and other retailers as well as online, in North America, Europe and Australia. They have also been used as teaching tools for new and expectant parents in pre-natal classes across Canada, the United States and  other countries.

Lianne is deeply committed to making life a little easier for other parents — by providing a space for moms and dads to share their golden nuggets of wisdom with each other.

The parenting landscape has changed markedly since 1996.
Neighbourhoods, communities, distance from and proximity to family, the internet, technology, social media — and more.

One thing remains constant, however: it takes a village to raise a child.

Let’s Work Together!

I am passionate about helping individuals and organizations share their story and elevate their brand, with a proven track record in the parenting space, healthcare, education, not-for-profit among others.

As an award-winning journalist, communications and media professional, I bring more than 25 years of experience (strategic, tactical and hands-on), results and a vast network to every project.
