Let's face it, raising kids is bloody hard at the best of times and rarely is there a hard and fast manual for how to do it.  This week however, we're incredibly fortunate to welcome the closest thing to that in Dr Justin Coulson - co-host and parenting expert on Channel 9's "Parental Guidance", the founder of happyfamilies.com.au, bestselling author/podcaster and one of Australia’s most trusted parenting experts - oh and did we mention the Father of 6 girls.  Justin's journey from self confessed school 'drop-out' to leading radio broadcaster to a PHD in Psychology is an amazing journey in itself, however his tips and strategies on parenting and building resilience within our kids is sure to make you revisit this episode many times over.   If you get as much out of this episode as we did, please visit https://justincoulson.com/ to find out more.
