How to Teach Children About Money (It's Earlier Than You Think!)
Show notes
When paying for something is as easy as tapping your phone, how do you teach children that money doesn't just magically appear?
Financial expert and host of the award-winning Minted Kids podcast, Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon, joins Simon and Lachy to talk about raising financially savvy children — and why it's never too early to start.
From pocket money and chores to saving, spending and the surprising power of a few dollars a day, Nicole shares simple, practical ways to introduce money lessons at home.

Are You Doing Too Much for Your Children?
Show notes
They can dress themselves. They can pack their school bags. So why are we still doing it all for them?
Simon and Lachy are starting to wonder if they've made life a little too easy for their children. But how much should children actually be doing for themselves, and at what age?
Armed with some advice from the Raising Children Network, they put their parenting knowledge to the test, with a few surprising discoveries, some questionable excuses and a growing list of jobs they might finally be able to hand over.
Of course, knowing what children can do and actually letting them do it are two very different things.
For more ideas on what children can start doing for themselves, visit the Raising Children Network's guide to age-appropriate chores

Dear Wiggles: What Happens When a Wiggles Show Goes Very Wrong?
Show notes
Anthony joins Simon and Lachy to talk all things Wiggles live shows - what changes between a small local venue and a huge arena, how much of the show is planned, and how much can change once there’s an audience in the room.
They also get into the gigs where things went properly off the rails - and the stories are very good!

About The Wiggles' Podcast - Wiggle Talk
Think you’ve got parenting figured out? So do Simon and Lachy - until the toddler throws a curveball. On Wiggle Talk - a podcast for parents, Red Wiggle Simon Pryce and Purple Wiggle Lachy Gillespie tackle the tricky, funny, and unexpected moments of raising little humans.
Simon, dad to son Asher, and Lachy, father to twin daughters Lulu and Lottie and stepdad to Jasper, share the highs and lows of parenting in the early years. Alongside their own stories, they welcome guests - from parenting experts to well-known personalities - who bring fresh perspectives and practical wisdom to the table.
Each week also features Dear Wiggles - where listeners send in their questions, the things that keep them up at night, or the dilemmas they’d love another parent’s take on. Simon and Lachy talk it through with honesty, and when needed, they call in expert friends to help provide thoughtful advice and reassurance.
With decades of experience in children’s education and entertainment, The Wiggles bring their trademark warmth and playfulness to conversations on everything from sleep and routines to tantrums, play, and the big feelings that come with family life.
Two dads, no filter, figuring it out as they go.

Jessie Stephens Thought She Knew Twins. Then She Had Them.
Show notes
The last time Jessie Stephens came into Wiggle Talk, she was very pregnant with twins. What none of us knew was that she was already in the early stages of labour.
Her waters broke that night. Three days later, Margot and Harry arrived.
Now, six months on, the writer, author and Mamamia Out Loud co-host is back - and we’re taking her back to some of the things she told us before she had any idea what was coming.
So, how much did pregnant Jessie get right?

Girls learn to perform perfection. Boys learn to perform toughness. But where do those messages come from - and what can parents do differently?
Clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement Dr Shefali returns to Wiggle Talk to unpack the pressures facing boys and girls today - from screens and algorithms to vulnerability, body image, independence and belonging - and why connection may be one of the most powerful tools we have as parents.

Dear Wiggles: How Much Is Too Much for a Child’s Birthday Gift?
Show notes
Birthday parties seem to come with a whole new set of rules - how much do you spend, what do you buy for a child you barely know, and what happens when the presents start piling up?
Simon and Lachy talk birthday gift pressure, $5 parties and whether “no presents” is ever the answer. Then Simon shares a more personal side of raising an only child - the questions he and Lauren have wrestled with, the assumptions other people make, and why he’s learning to focus on the family they have now.

What Your Kids Hear When You Talk About Your Body
Show notes
That throwaway comment about needing to work off dessert, hating a photo of yourself or wishing your body looked different? Your children may be listening more closely than you realise.
2023 Australian of the Year Taryn Brumfitt and body image researcher Dr Zali Yager from The Embrace Collective join Simon and Lachy to unpack how children learn to think about their bodies, often long before the teenage years. They talk about the language we use around food, exercise and appearance, what to say when children start comparing themselves to others, and the small things parents can do now to help build a healthier relationship with their bodies as they grow.

Lachy Has An Idea...
Show notes
Lachy walks into the studio with an idea, and Simon is trying to work out whether it’s brilliant, ridiculous, or a bit of both.
The pitch: a 2027 Wiggle Dads calendar. What starts as fitness motivation somehow turns into a charity fundraiser, a possible Christmas surprise, and a surprisingly serious conversation about poses, months, paper quality and whether anyone is actually ready for this.
And this is where we need your help - what should the Wiggle Dads calendar actually look like? Send your ideas for poses, themes and months to podcast@thewiggles.com.au.
