In this snippet of Untidy, Matty and Hannah talk to the 'queen of common sense' parenting educator, Maggie Dent. Maggie draws from her deep knowledge of neuroscience and her rich experience as a high school teacher and mother of four boys, to share her refreshing, reassuring, and candid perspective on navigating the challenges of parenting through adolescence. The conversation touches on how to really work alongside your teen through those tumultuous adolescent years. Maggie provides invaluable advice on managing conflict and disappointment without damaging the parent-child relationship. Catch the full episode featuring Maggie Dent on Untidy podast called, Surfing the waves of adolescence with Maggie Dent'.

Maggie's latest book, ‘Help Me Help My Teen’, is a guide for parents to help their teens when they're struggling with the challenges and increased pressures today's teens are facing, i.e. vaping, anxiety, sexuality, school grades, self-harm and sexual harassment.
