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.
How do we help children build resilience and equip them to handle life’s inevitable volatility, challenges, and setbacks?
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
Anti-Fragile presents Dr Coulson’s groundbreaking approach to building resilience in children, equipping them to not just cope with life’s challenges but to thrive because of them.
WEDNESDAY 17 JUNE 2026Â
He’s disappearing. Behind the closed door, lost in screens, making choices that keep you up at night. He’s navigating a world designed to confuse him – algorithms designed to addict him – a world parents don’t understand and can’t break into. The headlines scream crisis. They warn us that boys are in deep trouble… and it’s getting worse.
But it doesn’t have to be like this.
Dr Justin Coulson has a different story to tell. In Boys, Coulson reveals what decades of research suggests: when boys get what they actually need, they thrive. Not through force or fixing, but through connection, meaningful challenge, and someone who refuses to give up on them.
This presentation hands you the ‘Playbook’. It cuts through the noise with practical, research-backed strategies for the battles you’re fighting right now. Gaming. Pornography. Self-control. Friendships. School motivation. How to discipline without destroying trust. How to stay close when he’s pushing away.
But beneath the tactics lies something more powerful: a vision of masculinity worth fighting for. Boys who help others feel safer and stronger. Who create surplus value. Who become not just good men, but the best version of themselves. Your son already has everything he needs to get there.

It’s a heartbreaking reality: mental health disorders in teenagers are on the rise. Girls are the most affected, and while there are several contributors to this trend, social media is unquestionably a major factor for many of our daughters.Â
Platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have changed the way girls relate. Social media has changed girls’ expectations for themselves and each other. Anxiety, perfectionism, bullying, and self-loathing are just some of the devastating side effects.Â
In short, new and impossible standards are leaving many of our daughters feeling like they’re simply… not enough. But there’s hope.
Join Dr Justin Coulson for Girls, where he’ll unpack:
- Why so many of our girls don’t feel they are enough.
- How our best-intentioned efforts to help them feel enough backfire.
- Solutions that shift your daughter’s focus from worrying if she’ll ever be enough to no longer even thinking about it.
- How to establish a relationship that leaves no doubt that she really is enough.

We’ve thankfully moved beyond the era of authoritarian parenting, where fear and obedience were the primary tools of discipline. But in the wake of this shift, many parents find themselves adrift in a sea of uncertainty. If not strict control and punishment, then what? How do we guide our children effectively while fostering their independence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing? This is the question at the heart of modern parenting.
Join renowned parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson for Parental Guidance, a refreshing presentation that will challenge conventional parenting wisdom and equip you with effective, science-backed strategies.
This presentation will empower you to move beyond outdated parenting paradigms and embrace a fresh perspective on child development. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and learn how to create an environment that supports their growth, fostering a more positive family dynamic. Don’t miss this opportunity to revolutionise your parenting approach and create a thriving family life!

Is there a deadline for my school to register?
The latest a school can register is the Monday of the week of the event. We recommend schools register as soon as they can. We will be providing you with marketing materials to help promote the event to your school community. You’ll want to allow plenty of time for parents to find out about the event and register. However, should you run out of time to promote the sessions, we encourage your school to still sign up and provide the recording to parents. The recording will be available for 14 days after the event.
We're a Happy Families School. Do we need to pay for this session separately?
Each session is included in the Happy Families School Membership (Grow & Bloom tiers only).
What are the technical requirements to view the sessions?
All you’ll need to watch the sessions is an internet connection and a browser. Once your school is registered, we’ll send you a unique URL for your parents to register for email reminders, as well as the URL to your unique viewing page.
Will you be providing marketing support?
Yes! Once you’ve registered your school, we’ll be in touch with a marketing pack for you to use to advertise the event to your school community.Â
Will I be able to see who from our school community has watched the sessions?
We will provide you with a Google Sheet, which will allow you to see how many people have registered for email reminders for the live sessions. We won’t be able to give you specific information about who accessed the live event on that day.
Is there a limit to how many people can access the sessions?
No. If you purchase a license, your whole school community will have access to the event. This includes staff members and parents.
How long will the sessions go for?
Each session will run for about 45 minutes, with 15 minutes for questions. Questions can be submitted through the chat function (anonymously if the user prefers), which will be embedded on the viewing page.Â
