Building Strong Kids
The Little Virtues helps nurture a child's moral excellence and social-emotional intelligence through stories and active learning.
Meet The Author
Hi, I'm Rose Sprinkle — a parenting educator, award-winning author, and the founder of The Little Virtues, where emotional intelligence meets everyday family life.
I don't just teach parenting. I teach how children become kind, confident, emotionally regulated humans — and how parents can actually enjoy the process. With a science-based approach rooted in storytelling, play, and connection, I help families transform the way they communicate, teach, and raise their children.
But this work didn't start in a classroom. It started with healing.
After losing my best friend, I turned to writing to process grief and rebuild emotional resilience. What began as a personal journey became a mission: to help children develop the emotional skills most adults were never taught.
Today I'm the author of eight children's books, including Little Charity (Creative Child Book of the Year, 2022), and the creator of The Little Virtues — a Mom's Choice Gold Award-winning series designed to teach character through connection, not correction.
Before stepping fully into education, I spent 18 years in design and curriculum development, including seven years at Amazon Web Services, where I earned two Telly Awards for online courses that reached thousands of students globally. That foundation shows up in everything I create — every book, activity, and lesson is intentionally designed to engage, simplify, and stick.
At the heart of it all, I believe this:
Emotional regulation isn't something kids are born with. It's something we teach — through presence, practice, and the stories we share.
And when we do?
Everything changes.
