In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with Sebastian Bates, founder of Warrior Academy and an advocate for building confident and resilient young people, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing children and parents today: confidence, resilience, and bullying.

Seb shares insights from years of working with children, families, and schools, explaining why bullies often target certain individuals and what parents can do to help their children develop the confidence and presence that discourages bullying in the first place.

The conversation explores how body language, communication, and self-belief shape the way children are perceived by others — and why confident kids are far less likely to become targets.

This episode offers practical guidance for parents who want to raise stronger, more resilient children in an increasingly challenging social environment.

The body language and behaviours that can make kids appear like easy targets
How parents can help children develop confidence and presence
The importance of eye contact, posture, and communication skills
Practical tools children can use to handle difficult situations
