Description
''This book is a must-read for parents and educators who want to refocus children''s attention to one of the greatest secrets to long-term happiness - discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary'' - Jessica Joelle Alexander, co-author of The Danish Way of ParentingChildren of the last twenty years have grown up in an increasingly frenzied and demanding environment so that, on one hand, education has been rendered more complicated, and on the other, the essentials have been lost to view. In order to ensure their future success, parents often feel that they must fill their children''s schedules with endless activities that cause leisure, spontaneous activity, and the experience of nature, beauty and silence, to fade out of their lives.This veritable race toward adulthood distances children more and more from the natural laws of childhood. A constant stream of loud and flashy stimuli disturbs the only true and sustainable learning that exists in them: that of calmly and quietly discovering the world for themselves and at their own pace, with a sense of wonder that goes beyond mere curiosity for the unknown or interest in novelty.In a world such as this, it can be a daunting task for a parent or educator of young children to discern how to best raise their children. Catherine L''Ecuyer offers clarity, drawing attention to the findings of many studies of the last few decades on the effects of screen use, overstimulation and mechanistic approaches to education on young children, and suggests time exploring the real world, more silence and the ''Wonder Approach'' as remedies. Learning should be a wondrous journey guided by a deep reflection on what the natural laws of childhood require: respect for children''s pace and rhythms, innocence, sense of mystery and thirst for beauty.
