From Boys to Men

From Boys to Men
By Maggie Dent

A compassionate guide to raising teenage boys into grounded, capable men.

Australia’s leading parenting and resilience expert Maggie Dent offers a deeply practical and reassuring roadmap for navigating the often challenging journey of raising adolescent boys.

Teen years can feel like a sudden shift—where once open, affectionate boys may become quiet, withdrawn, or reactive. This book helps parents understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to respond with calm, connection, and confidence.

Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Communicate in ways that reduce conflict and build trust
• Support boys through low motivation and disengagement
• Help them navigate failure, setbacks, and emotional challenges
• Encourage healthy friendships and respectful relationships
• Guide them safely through the digital world and technology

Why this book stands out:

• Written with warmth, humour, and deep understanding
• Offers real-life strategies you can use immediately
• Focuses on connection rather than control
• Supports both boys and the wellbeing of the whole family

Maggie’s approach is simple but powerful:
Stay calm, stay connected, and understand the unique developmental needs of boys as they grow into men.

Perfect for:

• Parents and caregivers of boys aged 8–18
• Teachers and educators working with adolescents
• Families wanting to raise emotionally resilient, respectful young men
