Less is More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are children doing too much… but not enough of anything to really benefit? In this episode of Reflect & Protect, Kirsty explores the pressure to fill children’s weeks with swimming, football, dance, drama, music, martial arts and more — and asks whether constantly adding activities can sometimes mean there isn’t enough repetition for real progress to happen. Drawing on her own childhood of dance, music, swimming and performing, she looks at the difference between giving children variety and givi
What to do when your child says: "I'm fine" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“How was your day?” “Fine.” Sound familiar? This episode was inspired by a question from one of our Reflect parents and looks at what to do when you know — or suspect — something is going on, but your child simply doesn’t want to talk. We explore why “I’m fine” can mean many different things, how to ask better questions, when to stop asking altogether, and why conversation itself may be becoming a skill we all need to practise more.

Read excerpt
What does resilience actually look like when you take away the slogans? In the final episode of the More Than Tough mini-series, we bring the whole idea together and look at a broader definition of strength — one that includes grit, but also honesty, adaptability, recovery, connection and knowing when to ask for help. Because being tough is not the same as being unbreakable. Real resilience is often quieter than that. It is knowing when to keep going, when to adjust, when to rest, when to return
More Than Tough # 9 - The Frame is the Fight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens matters — but so does the story you tell yourself about what happens. In this episode of More Than Tough , we look at how the way we frame a difficult day, a mistake, a setback or a nervous moment can shape what we do next. We talk about the difference between fact and interpretation, why words like always , never , ruined and impossible can make a situation feel bigger than it really is, and how a more accurate frame can give us more useful choices. This is not about pretending bad
