Summary
As a parent, you want to send your children into the world with healthy minds and vibrant faith. You want to develop a strong foundation for them. But in our fast-paced, outcome-based, technologically driven society, it's easy to lose sight of the innocence, potential, and uniqueness of each child. Childlike wonder can become lost in the fog of formulas that view children through the distorting lens of social expectations.
Awaking Wonder helps parents unearth the hidden potential of their child's imagination, learning capacity, and ability to engage authentically with the world.
Best-selling author Sally Clarkson will help you reach your child's heart of wonder through the principles that guided her in raising four children, all of whom made it into adulthood with a vibrant faith intact and are now flourishing in creative, high-performing professions. Listen to this book to:
- gain confidence in your role as a God-designed guide and teacher for your children
- help your children awaken to the wonder all around them
- develop healthy minds that can stand up against societal norms, providing them with a life-giving education and a love for learning

Give it a go.
My husband says the authors reading style is how a physiatrist talks, at first it kind of threw me.... but it's so relaxing to listen to if your busy doing something at the same time. I enjoy how easy it is to picture her scenarios and my children listen along with me whilst we are painting or having breakfast. I love her mindset and I would recommend giving it a go.

For parents and teachers alike
I am thoroughly enjoying reading 'Awaking Wonder'. This is a fantastic book to read, whether you're a parent or a teacher. I love how Sally reminds the reader that children are born with the innate desire to wonder, to imagine, to be creative and to learn. They do not need the pressure of testing and of sitting still and quietly. What really challenged me was how Sally described parenting children being like Jesus walking with and teaching his disciples. While I like to think I'm a fairly gentle parent, it challenged me to ask Jesus to continuously help me with my parenting... to be gentle, kind, patient and always loving. Children so deserve it. Thank you, Sally, for writing this book. What a blessing it has been to me and I'm sure many others.

Deeply inspiring and wonderfully practical
Sally inspires simplicity and depth at the same time, the slow growing of children into deep thinking and caring adults. Lltanof practical help in what that might look like without being prescriptive. One to listen to again and again.
