Is protecting our kids from failure actually making them weaker? Kate Mason welcomes resilience expert and former SAS officer Tim Curtis to explore the roots of rising anxiety in children and young adults. They dive into how societal changes, overprotective parenting, and lack of free play are quietly eroding resilience—and what we can do about it. Tim and Kate unpack how modeling emotional regulation, allowing safe failure, and encouraging responsibility can help children (and even adult kids) grow stronger, more adaptable, and better prepared for life’s challenges.Listen For8:20 Risky Play and Why Broken Bones Used to Mean Growth11:53 Growth Mindset and Learning Through Failure18:27 Modeling Resilience: The Bobo Doll Experiment26:11 The Lifeguard Parent: Prevent the Drowning, Not the Swimming28:01 Chores, Independence, and Resilience-Building at Home  Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one click Connect with guest: Tim CurtisWebsite | Buy the Book | Publisher Link | Link Tree | LinkedInContact Kate:Email | Website | Kate’s Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X
