I have an MA in Educational Psychology and worked in the field of Training and Development writing training manuals for adults on topics like conflict resolution. My love for children and work in summer camp settings along with my own person experiences all came together in my writing of self-help books for children. I wanted to provide children with concrete ways to help themselves. When I am in the writing zone and the words flow out of me it is the best feeling in the world. It feels as though it is my true purpose.
My first book is about anger and that anger can be a power motivation for change. The key is handling your anger in positive ways. It is not always pretty or easy to do but it very important that all of us have self control and learn how to cope.
My new book, Stan the Timid Turtle is about school anxiety over violence. I myself suffer from anxiety. Stan has an anxiety attack and has to work through it. Visit me at my google page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LauraFoxTimidTurtle/posts.
