“Maggie’s seminar Real Kids in an Unreal World will explore her commonsense approach to parenting children 0 to 12 years, and include a practical model of ten building blocks, and promises to leave participants inspired and ready to take action.”
“It is important that by the time a child reaches adolescence, they are well equipped to deal with the world outside their home as a solo-operator,” Ms Smith said.
“The ability to interact with others, feel compassion and a have degree of self-awareness are all very necessary skills in life, and are not always taught through the education system.”
