How to pass data from a Jtextfield to a Postgresql Date field

Question

I urge you to help me solve a problem of entering data type Date (SQL) to register new students in the Crud project developed by me in the code below. The method containing the INSERT INTO command does not insert new registration in the database because the text typed in the dd/MM/yyyy format obtained in Jtextfield is not accepted as Date format data in SQL.

package grafico;

import static com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.util.Type.String;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import sistema.Conectora;

public class Tela extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    Connection c = null;
    PreparedStatement ps = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;

    public Tela() {
        initComponents();
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        c = Conectora.conectora();

    }

    public void cadastrar() throws ParseException{
        String consulta = "INSERT INTO alunos (aluno, , nascimento, mae, pai, sexo, serie) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?);";




        try {
            ps = c.prepareStatement(consulta);
            ps.setString(1,campoAluno.getText());
            ps.setDate(2, new Date(campoNascimento.getText()));
            ps.setString(3,campoMae.getText());
            ps.setString(4,campoPai.getText());
            ps.setString(5,campoSexo.getText());
            ps.setInt(6,(Integer.parseInt(campoSerie.getText())));
            ps.execute();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cadastrado com sucesso!");
        }catch(SQLException e){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
        }
    }
