Mums & Their Sons
In her presentation Maggie explores the power of mothering our precious sons in a warm, connected and respectful way from birth to adulthood. Maggie will decode some of the key differences in how mums and sons can see the world and explore how to avoid giving your sons a ‘mother wound.’ She will focus on little boys before 6 and then on boys 12+ who are on their journey to manhood, giving fabulous practical tips and suggestions for ensuring your son will become a respectful, responsible and loving good man.
She will also answer questions like:
- why doesn’t he listen?
- why doesn’t he follow instructions?
- why is he always touching things?
- why doesn’t he sit still?
- what WAS he thinking?
… and so much more.
