Fréquence : 1 épisode/13j. Total Éps: 12

Tim Curtis spent his first career in the elite SAS, but somehow, parenting remains his toughest mission yet. A self-confessed “average father” and not an expert in much related to kids, he’s on a quest to answer a question that parents, teachers, coaches, and pretty much every adult has asked him: ”How do we build resilience in kids?” From the bestselling co-author of The Resilience Shield and co-host of The Unforgiving60, this podcast dives into the science and stories behind resilience—minus the fluff. Tim brings in world-class experts, unpacks practical tools, and shares real-life insights to help the whole village (that’s you!) raise kids who can handle life’s curveballs. If you’ve ever wondered how to help your kids bounce back, stress less, and grow into kind, confident young adults—without the usual parenting clichés—this is the podcast for you. Buckle up, it’s time to Build Resilient Kids!

Molly Benjamin- Money Smart Kids: Building Financial Resilience from Pocket Money to Property

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

jeudi 13 novembre 2025 • Durée 51:25

From piggy banks to pay gaps, Molly Benjamin shares practical ways to raise financially confident kids in a cashless, complex world.

Molly Benjamin is on a mission to make financial literacy accessible, practical, and empowering—especially for women and now, kids. After transforming her own “hot financial mess” into a thriving movement that’s educated 70,000+ Australian women, Molly is bringing the conversation to the next generation. As a spokesperson for Spriggy, she has deep insights into how kids earn, save, spend, and give—and how parents can raise resilient, financially confident children who are ready to thrive.

In This Episode Money Mindset Starts Young

Molly explains how kids form their attitudes toward money by age seven—and how adult behaviours code that mindset. She shares why normalising conversations around spending, saving, and giving early matters, especially in a cashless society.

“It’s not just what we say, it’s what we do around money. Kids are watching.”

The Three Piggy Bank Rule

Molly outlines her favourite financial framework for children—Spend, Save, Share—and explains how to use tools like Spriggy or Monopoly money to reinforce tangible learning about financial priorities and delayed gratification.

Girls Out-Earning Boys?

The FY25 Spriggy Kids Economy Report reveals that girls are earning $1.03 for every $1.00 boys earn—flipping the adult gender pay gap. What can this tell us about confidence, motivation, and resilience in young people?

Money Mistakes Parents Make

From over-rewarding chores to avoiding money conversations, Molly highlights the unconscious habits that may undermine a child’s financial resilience.

“Money shouldn't be a taboo or secret. If they don’t learn it from us, they’re learning it somewhere else.”

Financial Stress & The Future

With house prices now 8–14 times the average wage, Molly discusses how we can prepare our kids for lifelong affordability pressures—through saving, investing, and open dialogue.

Episode Subtitle: “Emotions, TED Talks & Teddies: Louise Mansell’s Mission to Build Brave Kids”

In this episode of Building Resilient Kids, host Tim Curtis is joined by Dr Louise Mansell, a clinical psychologist and founder of Tedology. Originally from the UK and now based in Perth, Louise brings a wealth of experience working with vulnerable children in care systems and mainstream settings.

Louise shares insights into her personal upbringing, how her mother’s anxiety shaped her sense of responsibility and empathy, and what inspired her journey into psychology. She discusses the need for a whole-system approach to child development, the importance of working with schools and families, and how trauma-informed, compassionate care can change the course of a young life.

The heart of the episode is Louise’s innovative creation: TED (Teddy for Emotional Development) – a science-based, sensory teddy bear that helps children regulate emotions, build resilience, and develop emotional literacy through play. From weighted limbs and textured paws to guided voice prompts based on proven psychological tools like CBT and DDP, TED is a cuddly co-regulator for kids.

Louise reflects on parenting, teaching, and the daily challenge of applying psychology at home, candidly admitting her own occasional “screen bans” as a mother. Her honesty and evidence-based practice make this a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone committed to raising emotionally resilient kids.
