She is best known for her widely acclaimed book ‘Making it Better for Boys’ but the messages which run throughout, work equally well for girls - after all we are all individuals, whatever our gender. Ali’s distinctive writing and inspiring, quirky training ‘leave a lasting legacy’ and make her the UK’s leading authority on behaviour, learning and boys. Ali’s work is simply unforgettable.
We would love to bring a Parent Talk to your setting and you can view Ali's full range on our 'Parents and Famiies' page. To make this happen, simply speak to your setting manager
- it costs them nothing.
