EMINENT Australian child psychologist Steve Biddulph will be holding a series of seminars at Ringwood Waldorf School on Monday.

Biddulph, pictured right, the author of Raising Boys, was one of the first to broach the need to have a different approach to boys - bringing about a gentler, more sociable and also more emotionally healthy kind of man, without taking away the energy and activism that healthy men bring to life.

His talks have been described as a cross between Billy Connolly and Doctor Spock for their mix of humour and emotion.
