MAGGIE DENT
Author, Educator, Parenting and Resilience Specialist, Specialising in Early Years and Adolescence

Maggie is a champion for children and parents. In her endearing, and forthright manner, she shares with us practical advice, strategies and resources for a more ‘commonsense’ raising of our children, to help them get along in the world – and help us ‘survive’ and enjoy the journey of parenthood! We talk about the need for children to have real experiences with real people; the restorative powers of time in nature; how to help kids understand and manage their emotions (including grief); and how times of stillness, silence and mindfulness are vital for kids and parents alike.
