*****
In this updated version of one of her most popular seminars, one of Australia’s favourite parenting authors and educators – who is also a mother of four sons – Maggie Dent gives us wonderful information and insights into how to better understand, nurture and connect with boys.
Statistics indicate that our boys are struggling in so many ways. They are more likely than girls to go to prison die or be injured in a car accident, fail school, die by suicide and more.
Maggie believes if we can better understand the differences between boys’ and girls’ development, the way our boys communicate, what society expects of them and what they need – we can turn these statistics around.
Maggie is a self-confessed ‘boy champion’ and her mission is to make a profound difference in the lives of our boys. If you are a parent, carer or educator of boys you will gain practical tips, insights, information and inspiration to help shape our boys so that they grow into happy, healthy men.

This seminar was really relevant to myself as a parent of 4 boys – I related to many things that Maggie said and it gave me a better understanding of my boys behaviours. I would like to watch it again with my husband to help him understand as well.

Maggie has an approachable and engaging style, with plenty of insights and humour that makes this seminar an excellent overview of parenting boys in their early years and adolescence. I found Maggie’s discussion about understanding the differences in boys’ development and different personality styles among boys, as well as the importance of nurturing and loving our young “warriors” and giving them the best conditions to thrive to be really helpful to me as a parent. Thank you Maggie!

When watching this I swear you were talking about our son. This seminar has helped me as a Mother understand and appreciate the battles my son goes through, daily, hourly! We struggle through anxiety and his lack of regulating emotions but little things like the tickle spot and reconnecting slowly has helped immensely. I learnt more watching this then multiple sessions with a child psychologist. Thanks Maggie from a desperate Mumma.

I really liked this seminar, packed full of great tips. I love how Maggie has such a natural empathy with boys – she really gets where they are coming from. I have already put some of her suggestions into practice

Amazing. I have so much more clarity around helping my beautiful boy express his emotions and just let him be. I was truly at a loss as to how to handle my little guys emotions and thought something was wrong when in fact it was the way we were interacting and butting heads. After listening to the seminar I practiced Maggie’s advice and wow! Instant change. I laughed and cried watching! Thank you 🙏🏻 Maggie x
