Parental As Anything

Parental As Anything by Maggie Dent is a practical, down-to-earth parenting guide for raising happy, healthy kids from toddlers through to tweens, shaped by the questions families are actually asking right now. Warm, reassuring and easy to dip into, it’s ideal for busy parents who want guidance that feels realistic, not preachy.

Drawn from the most talked-about episodes of Dent’s popular ABC podcast, this non-fiction parenting book tackles everyday dilemmas like screen time, tantrums, play, and the tricky conversations around bodies and sex. Along the way, Dent weaves in expert insights and real parent experiences, then translates them into clear, usable strategies you can try at home.

Perfect for Australian parents, carers, step-parents and grandparents who want calm, confident support with behaviour, boundaries and building resilience.
