Two Exceptional Parenting Opportunities

31st January and 1st February 2021

Following the success earlier this year of parenting and teacher seminars conducted by renowned Psychologist, Dr Judith Locke, we will again be hosting workshops for Girton parents (and teachers) full of useful tips on raising confident and capable children.

Dr Locke undertakes research investigating modern parenting, family wellbeing, and academic environments. Her psychological commentary features regularly in the media, and her best-selling parenting books The Bonsai Child and The Bonsai Student offer solutions to help children cope better with the demands of school and schoolwork and encourage personal motivation.
