Dr Judith Locke – Helping Your Child Become Capable & Confident

We are pleased to announce that Dr Judith Locke has rescheduled her presentations for Oxley parents.

Dr Judith Locke is the author of two best-selling parenting books, The Bonsai Child and The Bonsai Student. She is a registered clinical psychologist, former teacher and school counsellor and speaks to parents, teachers and students throughout Australia and internationally on topics related to modern parenting, family wellbeing and academic environments.  Dr Locke’s psychological commentary features regularly in the media, including a weekly parenting column for The Sunday Mail. She is a member of The Australian Psychological Society and a fellow of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.

Dr Locke is presenting two parent sessions at Oxley, one aimed at parents with children in Pre-K to Year 6; and the other with children in Year 7 – 12.

These presentations will assist parents in adopting a parenting approach that truly builds their children’s wellbeing and competence. Topics will include strategies to help students develop essential skills such as resilience, confidence, self-regulation and resourcefulness. Dr Locke will also work on strategies to maintain a good relationship between parents and children as children become older.
