Informationen zum Autor Sharon Turner is a registered Psychologist working in Melbourne, Australia. She has been working with children, young people, parents and young adults for almost 25 years. She has worked in school settings and private practice. She has been interviewed on ABC Radio and had articles feature on parenting websites such as Kiddipedia and Bounty Parents, on such things as how best to support children during lockdown and also upon their school return. The recent COVID crisis led to many adults and children feeling overwhelmed and as though they had no control in their world and lives. This prompted Sharon to work on creating a book that helped children explore this from a more positive and strengths based perspective. One that would enable growth, the capacity to cope and to move forward. Her first book, Rosie Finds Her Power, is a picture story book designed to promote this message and encourage children to use the skill of choosing to focus on those things that are in their control. In doing so, children obtain a sense of security and safety in their world as well as a greater sense of wellbeing.
