About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of allowing children to experience failure and resilience in their learning process.

Watching our kids struggle can bring out every protective instinct we have. But what if falling, failing, losing and trying again are all part of how kids learn to back themselves? This week, Simon and Lachy chat with mental health clinician, surf therapy founder, dad and children’s author Joel Pilgrim about confidence, resilience, big feelings and the tricky parenting moments where stepping back might matter most.   HOSTS Simon Pryce Lachlan Gillespie GUEST Joel Pilgrim You can find out more about Waves of Wellness here .
