by Judith y. Locke (Author)

Parents, teachers and schools invest more care and effort than ever before to ensure children succeed at school. Yet many young people do not feel confident, capable and ready to take on life beyond the school gate.


Clinical psychologist, researcher and former teacher Dr Judith Locke shows you how to turn this situation around with practical strategies that have helped thousands of families she has worked with clinically and in her sessions for parents and teachers in schools across Australia and New Zealand.


The Bonsai Student will show you the best way to be a good parent for your child in their school years by helping them become responsible, resilient and ready for the years that follow. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers and everyone working with children in an educational environment.

'Dr Locke's research is contemporary, and her advice is highly relevant in the modern context of raising children. She helps us to understand what the needs of young people are and how we can best support them to become confident, capable and resilient.'

DR MARIE PERRY
