Anne Peck, Director of Education (Primary and Early Years) at HFL, recently joined Mix 92.6’s The Parents’ Show to share insights into nurturing children's confidence and how that enables them to take risks in learning, including making mistakes, which are essential for growth as they help build new neural pathways and deepen understanding.
The interview, which aired on Thursday 16th April 2026, formed part of Mix 92.6’s ongoing focus on family life, child development and education. During the episode, Anne spoke with hosts about what confidence looks like in children and how it can be nurtured both at home and in education settings.
The episode is particularly relevant for families with young and primary-aged children, as well as those interested in the links between physical development, emotional wellbeing and learning.
