The Resilient Kid was recently featured in iPaper, which is Britain's Newspaper of the Year!

Just to clarify one thing from the article. While Ashley absolutely loves supporting families, she wouldn’t call herself a parenting expert. She believes you're the expert on your own kids – her role is to be there for you, offering guidance and tools that help you and your children navigate the challenges life throws our way.

She highlights the importance of parental presence in helping children navigate their emotions in an era where virtual connections often replace face-to-face relationships. Costello draws on the wisdom of the proverb "it takes a village," noting that the village itself has changed, but the need for strong emotional guidance from parents remains vital.
