A masterclass with Maggie Dent and Lael Stone
Sign up now and get lifetime access to the replay and additional resources!
An online masterclass for anyone raising children, toddlers through tween-age.
For many reasons, parenting is more difficult today than it used to be. In an ideal world, as we strive to be our ‘best selves’, we would consistently parent our children with loving connectedness and compassionate boundaries. In turn, they would have the best possibility of responding in ways that would be beneficial for all in the home.
However, in reality, as humans growing up other humans, we are frequently challenged by daily moments in our homes and education spaces – as well as by our own internal and external stressors. Spontaneous moments of big feelings – especially painful and difficult emotions – sleep challenges, squabbling, defiance, aggression, not listening … it’s no simple task living and working with kids.
In this very special
masterclass for parents and educators, Maggie Dent and highly respected
Australian speaker, author and educator Lael Stone team up for the first time
to share their approach to raising happy, compassionate, resilient children.

Focusing on the toddler-tween age group, Maggie and Lael explore:
→ Parental imprints from your own childhood and how they affect the way you parent
→ Why parenting is more difficult today than in the past
→ How to effectively set compassionate limits and why they matter
→ Emotional intelligence and how to nurture it
→ The secret life of emotions: where they come from, why they exist and what happens to them
→ How to respond to children’s and tween’s painful and uncomfortable feelings
→ How to support your child/tween when they are ‘off balance’ or dysregulated
→ Ways to read your child’s behaviour (i.e. aggression, agitation)
→ The role of the nervous system and the body budget, and how to reset or rebalance it
→ Why some kids find it hard to fall asleep and what can help
→ Why kids do what we don’t want them to do
→ Why kids don’t listen and what to do when it happens
