Author Jody Sharpe Champions Children's Emotional and Social Development Amid Rising Bullying

In a society where bullying and intolerance seem to be on the rise, bestselling author Jody Sharpe is making a heartfelt plea for a renewed focus on children's emotional and social development. Sharpe, through her poignant writings and personal journey, underscores the necessity of cultivating environments that are rooted in love, kindness, and mutual respect. Her recent article, "Angels Inspiration: Our Children Our Focus," sheds light on the widespread issue of bullying, which manifests from playgrounds to the highest echelons of government, and the pivotal role adults have in shaping a nurturing world for the younger generation.

Sharpe's literary contributions, including "Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder" and "When The Angel Sent Butterflies," are testaments to her deep-seated commitment to advocating for children, especially those with special needs. Her memoir, which recounts her experiences teaching special needs children, reveals the profound lessons of kindness and resilience she learned from her students. These narratives not only highlight the challenges faced by children but also celebrate their innate capacity for compassion and strength.

Her acclaimed novella, '20 Moon Rd., An Angel's Tale,' which garnered first place in the 2023 NFPW Professional Communication Contest, delves into themes of adversity and the power of compassion to triumph over bullying. Set in the fictional town of Mystic Bay, California, Sharpe's stories consistently portray how empathy and spiritual awareness can lead to overcoming negative behaviors, offering hope and inspiration to readers.

Beyond her books, Sharpe extends her mission through her YouTube channel and "Tuesdays With The Angels" blog, where she shares angelic encounters and addresses pressing issues like bullying, with a special focus on children with special needs. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by her recognition in the National Federation of Press Women's Professional Communication Contest and the "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" Book Awards. Sharpe's work is a beacon of hope, encouraging a shift towards more compassionate understanding and positive change in how we nurture and support our children's emotional and social well-being.
