SUMMARY:Calming Teen Stress & Anxiety (Perth\, WA)
DESCRIPTION:Stress and anxiety can have both positive and negative effects. At times\, they can even serve as a superpower. However\, when these feelings become unhelpful or problematic\, we can develop new habits that change our neurochemistry and emotions\, thereby transforming our inner dialogue. Adolescence is inherently stressful due to the significant changes and uncertainties—often invisible—that occur in our brains and bodies. \nOur increasingly digital world\, filled with social media\, gaming\, and harmful content\, alongside evolving cultural norms\, has amplified the pressure to excel and fit in. This has led to rising levels of stress\, anxiety\, and depression among teenagers. In addition to these challenges\, factors such as starting senior school\, advancing to a new grade\, exam pressures\, friendship issues\, and the fast-paced nature of modern life contribute to the difficulties teens face today. Many of these challenges might be unimaginable to parents and educators. \nIn this 2-hour event parenting author\, educator\, former high school teacher\, counsellor\, educator and host of Parental As Anything (ABC radio) and The Good Enough Dad podcast\, Maggie Dent will explore stress and anxiety and how adolescents (and their parents/carers/educators) can better understand and cope with it. \nNOTE: Teens 13+ may attend with their parents / carers. All attendees require a ticket. \nTickets: $40 \n\nTime: 10am – Noon (doors open at 9.15am) Perth\, WA time. \n\nPlease book online via trybooking here \nPrintable event flyer download here \n**This event is general admission (so you can sit wherever you like)\, please arrive on time if you wish to find seats to sit together with friends or family. \nBabes in arms are welcome at Maggie’s seminars. This event is not suitable for toddlers and older children.

Ticket holders have been refunded via Try Booking.  \n  \nHelp Me Help My Teen \nThis 2-hour event\, based on Maggie’s latest and final parenting book\, is a reassuring\, practical guide for parents\, carers and educators to help teenagers navigate adolescence and grow into confident\, capable adults. \nAdolescence has always been a time of huge transformation\, but today’s teens deal with challenges that parents may never have imagined. \nAn increasingly digital world filled with social media\, gaming and harmful content\, along with changing cultural norms\, has intensified the pressure to excel and ‘fit in’ – leading to heightened levels of stress\, anxiety and depression. \nMaggie will provide clear and compassionate ‘what to do’ advice for some of the most difficult\, sensitive topics – such as technology use\, sex\, drugs and alcohol\, dropped school grades\, school refusal\, mental health and identity – and shows us how we can provide a safe and supportive environment for all our teens. \nTickets: $40 \nVenue: Abbotsleigh School \nAddress:1666 Pacific Highway (Cnr Ada Avenue) Wahroonga NSW 2076 \n\nTime: 1pm – 3pm (Doors open at 12.15pm for a 1pm start) \nPrintable event flyer: download here \n\nPlease book online via trybooking here \nNOTE: Sensitive topics are discussed.

SUMMARY:Mothering Our Boys (Griffith\, NSW) July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Mothers of sons are worried about raising their boys in a world where negative images of masculinity are front and centre of our media\, almost every day. Also\, statistically our boys are still struggling in many ways. Even though we live in a time where we recognise nothing in gender is fixed\, it remains a fact that the influence of a mother on her son is massive. \nIn this seminar\, one of Australia’s favourite parenting authors Maggie Dent explores the power of parenting our precious boys in a warm\, firm\, fair and fun way from birth to adulthood. A mother of four sons herself\, Maggie draws on research and personal experience – and over four decades work as a teacher\, counsellor and now author and speaker – to help build understanding\, empathy and compassion for our boys. \nDespite the name this seminar is useful for all parents (mums and dads)\, carers and educators of boys aged from birth to late teens\, to help build a better understanding of the importance of cooperative intimate relationships. \nIn her light-hearted way\, Maggie offers insights and practical tips for understanding our boys and ensuring they will grow up to become respectful\, responsible and loving good men. \nTickets: $40 \n\nTime: 6.30pm – 8.30pm (doors open at 5.45pm for a 6.30pm start) NSW time. \n\nPlease book online via trybooking here \nDownload printable event flyer: here \nPlease note this event is general admission (so you can sit wherever you like) and babes in arms are welcome at Maggie’s seminars.
