Commonly known as the ‘queen of common sense’, Maggie Dent has become one of Australia’s favourite parenting authors and educators, with a particular interest in the early years, adolescence and resilience. Maggie is the author of six major books, including the bestselling 2018 release Mothering Our Boys and her 2020 release From Boys to Men. She hosts the ABC podcast, Parental As Anything. Maggie is a dedicated advocate to quietly changing lives in our families and communities. She is the mother of four sons and a very grateful grandmother.

Social media has the capacity to escalate an individual’s potential or to crush it completely. Making poor choices can impact others and research has shown this personal pain can create long term mental health challenges. DiGii teaches our pre-adolescents how to be capable, responsible digital citizens and I believe it will quite simply save precious lives. Every primary school needs DiGii to be available for their students to prepare them to be caring responsible digital citizens.”– Maggie Dent
