One major misconception Maggie Dent realised 'pretty early' when it came to raising boys - ABC listen

Original source (on modern site)

When raising her first son, Maggie Dent discovered something 'quite early'.

"The kind of perception that we have as a social norm that boys are tough, is absolute rubbish."

She went on to raise three more boys, as well as becoming one of Australia's most recognised counsellors, authors and parenting experts, especially when it comes to boys.

In a week where there has been significant discussion around men's attitudes and behaviour, Maggie sat down with Alice Zaslavsky to examine the years before they become men - and what society can do to make a difference. 

And a warning that this interview contains themes which may be distressing to some.
