As parents, we don’t always have the answers for some of the situations that arise when raising our children. There are many professionals and specialists whom specialise in parenting, however, the one expert whom is known for her common sense parenting is Maggie Dent, here is a little bit about her.

Maggie Dent is also commonly known as Australia’s ‘queen of common sense’, Maggie is an author, educator, and parenting and resilience specialist. She is a dedicated advocate to quietly changing lives in our families and communities.
Maggie’s website covers common concerns that parents often are faced with such as anger and self-regulation, anxiety and separation anxiety, sleep issues, stress, friendship and social skills issues, screen time just to name a few.
