Can Watching Children's TV Actually Build Resilience?
Every parent knows those big-feeling moments - when your child loses a game, feels frustrated, or bursts into tears over something small. This week, Simon and Lachy chat with two child-development researchers from Central Queensland University whose study of Bluey made headlines - revealing that almost half the episodes model resilience and emotional strength. They unpack how animal characters like Bluey, Bingo (even Wags and Dorothy) help children understand feelings, why shows like Bluey can help kids learn to “try again,” and how co-watching can turn screen time into connection time.

Hugh van Cuylenburg: Seeing The World Through His Neurodivergent Child’s Eyes
When The Resilience Project’s Hugh Van Cuylenburg wrote an open letter to parents of neurodivergent children, it struck a chord around the world. In this chat, Hugh joins Simon and Lachy to talk about the kind of love that changes you - the messy, beautiful, exhausting kind that comes from raising a child who experiences the world differently. It’s a conversation about patience, empathy and letting go of what you thought parenting would look like. Hugh’s honesty reminds us that while there’s no perfect way to do this, meeting your child where they are might just be the most powerful thing you can do.

Turia Pitt on Why Being a Little Selfish Might Make You a Better Parent
It all started with a hot chocolate. For Turia Pitt, that small, everyday moment became a wake-up call. She’d been doing what so many parents do - giving everything to everyone else, and leaving nothing for herself. In this conversation with Simon and Lachy, Turia opens up about burnout, boundaries, and the surprising power of being a little selfish. She shares how learning to say no changed her family life, how she’s teaching her boys the value of self-care, and why looking after yourself isn’t indulgent - it’s essential.
