71: Tough Kids vs. Snowflakes: The Science of Raising Resilient Humans with Tim Curtis.
Description
đȘ Are some people just naturally more resilient? Or is resilience something we can actually build? And what if weâve been thinking about stress and adversity all wrong when it comes to raising kids?
Today on the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, Iâm joined by Tim Curtisâformer Aussie SAS Squadron Commander, resilience expert, and co-author of The Resilience Shield. Tim has spent years leading high-stakes military operations, consulting for the UN, and now helping people understand what actually makes us resilient.
And trust me, his insights will challenge everything you thought you knew. Sorry!
We speak about:
đĄ The science of resilienceâhow much is genetic, and how much can we change?
âïž Why kids actually need some stress and adversity to grow stronger
đ The downside of helicopter and bulldozer parenting
đĄ The key factors that build resilience: mindset, social connections, and physical health
Also heâs given us all free access to his online resilience assessment you can take today!
Tim brings fascinating research, real-life stories, and game-changing insights on how to help both ourselves and our kids become more resilient.
If you want to raise strong, adaptable, and confident kids (and build your own resilience while youâre at it), this episode is a must-listen! đ§âš
