Dear Parents,
“I’m exhausted! Three straight hours of my son (8 yrs) calling himself horrible and stupid and saying I don’t care about him. I spend so much energy talking and connecting and reasoning with him. I feel emotionally beaten up. Each verbal assault he gives to himself, I feel like it's a slap in my face.”
It just breaks my heart to hear this from a parent...because I KNOW that every child experiences negative self-talk. And I also know there are simple but effective research-based strategies and tools we can implement to help our children turn their scary, self-loathing thoughts into loving and kind ones.
Trust me, it's so much more than teaching your child positive affirmations. There's a whole process behind teaching your child what thoughts mean (and what they DON'T mean) and how to handle them. That's why our very first parenting masterclass is exactly about that. “How to Transform Your Child’s Negative Self-Talk: Big Life Journal Growth Mindset Parenting Masterclass only $45.
The top parenting experts explain (with great compassion) how a regular parent (like you and me) can transform a child's negative self-talk so they can grow into a confident, self-loving adult. Only two days left to get access to the recorded course with the introductory price (the price will double after March 10th).

Webinar: Communicating with teenage boys
Presented by Maggie Dent
24 March 2021 8:00pm AEDT
Adolescence has a way of transforming children’s brains that can make communication challenging, especially with teenage boys who often start articulating in monosyllabic grunts. These brain changes also make them more sensitive, volatile and critical of themselves, making the tween/teen years a high-risk window. In this webinar, Maggie Dent shows how using compassionate, empowering communication with teenage boys can better guide them across the bridge to healthy manhood to a place where they feel worthwhile and engaged in respectful relationships.
