you are invited to join us for a conversation on our 2025 theme
with Special Guest Speaker
Dr John has been one of Australia’s most heard, seen and read child psychologists. Specialising in child development he has been working with children and families for 60 years. Dr John discovered the ‘worrywoos’ and he has dedicated much of his retirement years to promoting their worth in “Developing Children’s Emotional Intelligence”. He then wrote two booklets for parents around the worrywoos, and developed the Australian
guidelines for using the worrywoos in schools and early childhood centres. After a long and illustrious career Dr John is now dedicating his professional life to paying tribute via podcasts and books to the many kids, parents, grandparents and celebrities who have inspired him over the years.
