She is an expert on the theory of resilience in children and has combined this with positive psychology to help children thrive and flourish in a challenging world. With the introduction of technology, fast paced, busy lifestyles and a noticeable dearth of resilience, families are riding a new wave of raising our next generation. In her new book, The Art of Raising A Resilient Child, released mid 2020, Anna provides strategies to build strong relationships in families and emotionally, physically and mentally resilient children.With an educational background, Anna uses her knowledge of interpersonal relationships and emotional intelligence as well as cognitive behaviour theory to help families understand and develop solid relationships between parents and their children as well as siblings. She helps families understand that life is meant to be up and down and the need to develop resilience to help weather the storm. With the surge of mental health issues developing in children, building these skills are imperative to curbing the incidence rate of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.Anna is an advocate for children’s mental health and wellbeing and a regular parenting writer for Huffington Post and the Wellbeing Magazine. Currently working as a high school teacher, she loves the rich conversations she has with teenagers about thriving socially, emotionally, mentally and physically and also enjoys leading a culture of wellbeing across the schools she has taught in. Anna is married with three children and lives in Canberra, Australia.view less
