Barrenjoey High School and Berkelouw Books invite you to meet Andrew Fuller when he speaks on Unlocking Your Child's Genius at Barrenjoey High School.

Every parent wants their child to be the best they can possibly be, but how do you discover and encourage your child's particular natural talents? Clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller believes that all children have an innate sense of inquisitiveness that is fundamental to creativity and lateral thinking. However social conditioning and school can lead to a desire to conform and fit in which dampens that exuberance and curiosity.

Andrew Fuller's interest in creativity combined with a lifetime spent working with people on a wide range of issues has led him to write Unlocking Your Child's Genius: How to discover and encourage your child's natural talents. It is a guidebook for parents to unleash their own genius and role models for children.

He examines the skill set parents (and other mentors for young people) need to foster lateral thinking in others as well as the environment and conditions essential for launching a child on a lifelong journey of exploration.
