The Building Resilient Kids Podcast
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!
