Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.

Anxiety is one of the biggest topics plaguing parents today.

Maggie Dent, the queen of no-nonsense parenting, podcaster, author and educator, joins us to share her anxiety toolkit. Maggie takes a deep dive into how we can help our kids identify their anxiety,  the difference between anxious thoughts and worries and how to open up those necessary yet difficult conversations about death. 

Plus, on parenting mentors, what do you do when your child is constantly invited to things that you can't necessarily afford to attend?

The Safe On Social Webinar hosted by Kirra Pendergast and Mamamia is on at 7 pm AEST, Thursday the 29th of July. Register online now at www.safeonsocialtoolkit.com 

Maggie Dent's new book Parental As Anything is out now!
