NASHVILLE, TN — February 1st, 2026 — Rachel Closson, Certified High-Performance Ownership Coach, entrepreneur, and mother, announces the release of her children’s book Tug of Words: Speak with Confidence and Truth, a story designed to help children develop emotional awareness through language while supporting parents in modeling calm, communication, and ownership at home.

“We often try to teach children emotional regulation without realizing they are learning far more from how we respond than what we say,” Closson shares. “This book was written to open conversations — not just for children, but for parents who want to lead by example.”

Written for elementary-aged children, Tug of Words helps kids identify emotions, express themselves through words, and navigate moments of conflict with greater understanding. The book also supports families and classrooms by encouraging healthy communication patterns and thoughtful emotional modeling.

Closson brings a background as a longtime entrepreneur and Certified High-Performance Ownership Coach, with her work centered on leadership, ownership, and generational modeling. Her approach is grounded in the belief that children inherit what adults practice — not simply what they teach.

Tug of Words: Speak with Confidence and Truth is available in paperback and hardcover formats and is distributed through IngramSpark, making it accessible for bookstores, schools, and educational programs. The book is available online and through select retailers.
