Tim Curtis brings a deeply practical, evidence-based guide to building resilience in children and families. Drawing from his latest book Building Resilient Kids, Tim explores strategies to protect against modern challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and screen overload, based on the rigorously peer-reviewed Resilience Shield model.
The model has been validated by the University of Western Australia (UWA) and blends global research with real-world expertise to deliver an interactive and impactful session.
Tim proposes bold, but vital, ideas, including why kids need to take risks and experience failure; how responsibility through chores builds character; and why the role of parents evolves as kids grow. He encourages building a “village” of community support to nurture kids’ independence and emotional health.
