Upcoming Webinar Reminder from Happy Families

Letter from the Director of Wellbeing

20 February 2026 

Dear Parents/Carers

Upcoming Webinar from Happy Families

Just a reminder on Wednesday 25 February 2026 at 8.00pm, Dr Justin Coulson from Happy Families will again be hosting a webinar: Anti Fragile – Building Resilient Kids through Life’s Challenges.

In Anti-Fragile, a presentation on building resilience in children, Dr Justin Coulson challenges the idea that childhood should be free from stress and struggle. He argues that challenges are essential for growth and that parents can empower their children by allowing them to experience developmentally appropriate adversity while providing the right kind of support to help them overcome it.

In this presentation, Dr Coulson will explore:

  • What resilience truly means and why it matters
  • Why resilience is declining in our screen-focused world
  • Why risky play and face-to-face connections support life skills and resilience
  • How the current resilience deficit damages our children’s present wellbeing and future adult life
  • Practical strategies to reverse this trend by helping your child forge a strong sense of identity, develop genuine competence, and build lasting hope
