About this show:
Maggie Dent has helped parents around the world through some of our trickiest moments navigating the parenting and caring-for-kids experience.
This week we’re talking about the online world and the latest tech wave, AI, and our kids.
And we’re doing it in Maggie’s signature way that is practical and non-judgmental, helping parents make small, meaningful changes without fear or overwhelm.
Commonly known as the ‘queen of common sense’, Maggie Dent has become one of
Australia’s favourite parenting authors and educators. She has a particular interest in the
early years, adolescence and resilience, and is an undisputed ‘boy champion’. Maggie is the author of 11 major books, including the bestselling Mothering Our Boys, her 2020 release From Boys to Men, her book about girls, Girlhood, and the latest one we’re talking about on this podcast, Digital Freedom, with globally renowned online safety expert Kirra Pendergast.
I hope you join us for this week’s show to feel empowered and take the reins with your kids, collaboratively.

Title show track, by LIOR.
Love the podcast music? You will hear excerpts from Lior’s track “Caught Up” – go check it out on iTunes or Spotify if you want to hear the whole song or album, Scattered Reflections. Co-written with Cameron Deyell, it’s a great song and I love the reflective energy of it – perfect for the show, right? Enjoy. Lior is always touring, so do check out his website. It is wonderful to hear him sing live, trust me.
