Tree with roots and title Depth with Jodi Snowdon for SEO.

Did you grow up in a house that talked about their emotions? Are you talking with your kids about their emotions? Emotional Literacy is so important, and I am so passionate about giving tools to others to help them in their parenting.

Last week, I shared 5 books that I read with my kids that helped them grow deeper in their faith (Depth Podcast Episode 244). This week, I want to share 5 books that I did not have when my kids were young; they had not been written yet. They are all about emotional literacy, and they are phenomenal. I cannot wait to share them with you, and I hope you will add them to your library at home.
