A Conversation on Childhood Emotional Awareness with Glo Rose

Join Sarah Noll Wilson and guest Glo Rose as they explore the topics of emotional awareness and intelligence for children, and Glo shares her passion and some of the insights she has gained as an author of many books for children and teens.
About Our Guest
Glo Rose started writing to create stories for her children that showed them that her love is always with them. She wanted them to know they are not alone, no matter what they face, and that the lessons life teaches them may be challenging, but are worth experiencing to get stronger and wiser. 
As her writing developed, Glo wanted her books to help all children understand and be proud of their unique selves. The content grew into assisting children to recognize their emotions, understand that whatever they feel is valid, and explore safe ways to express their feelings to family or social media. Glo Rose Books has developed into a brand about helping children to understand themselves better while navigating this ever-changing world.
