Maggie has just presented two FREE seminars on the 17th and 18th March and we would like to say a special "Thankyou"to both Flinders and Albion Park Rail's Public Schools for co-hosting these two events. With over 120 attendees, both Parents and Professionals heard Maggie speak about the chaotic pace of modern life and how it was challenging our young people and families than ever before. She also spoke about the hidden stresses of overstimulation from TV, computers and games, noisy environments, overscheduled lives and pressure to have their development "hurried up". "Safe nurturing touch with lots of hugs and cuddles is one of the best ways to trigger the healthy brain chemicals that allow a child to turn off their overactive stress mechanism". "By slowing down, we create the spaces to nurture healthier relationships within our families" Maggie said. As a parenting/resilience specialist and speaker, former high school teacher and author, her latest book "Saving Our Adolescents" is due for release at the end of the month. We would like to "Thank" Maggie for coming to the Illawarra and sharing her wealth of information. For more of Maggie's books and resources visit http://www.maggiedent.com/
