Episode 5: Teaching emotional fitness

In this episode of Beyond the Grade, Andrew Hammond sits down with leading parent coach Natalie Costa for a powerful conversation about what it means to raise children with emotional fitness. Together, they discuss why emotional agility is such an important skill and how emotional steadiness starts with us as adults – whether that’s a parent or teacher.

Andrew and Natalie also explore whether there’s a role for schools in helping parents become that steady presence at home and how modelling calm, connected behaviour becomes the foundation for children’s long term wellbeing.

Natalie’s mission is grounded in one guiding belief: when parents feel more steady and supported, children grow up feeling safer, more connected, and emotionally confident within themselves.

Listen now to discover what it really takes to raise a generation of connected humans.
