Raising awe-seekers : how the science of wonder helps our kids thrive / Deborah Farmer Kris.

Summary:

"This book explores how awe and wonder can and should be a part of every childhood, and how becoming an awe-seeker can change readers' lives and their parenting in profound and concrete ways. Structured around seven of the most common sources of awe identified by researchers, this book breaks down the science of awe, connecting the research to child development and anchoring it with four of Farmer Kris's parenting tenets. Included are stories and observations from the author's life, words from other parents and from young people themselves, and concrete strategies and resources to help readers take what they've learned, apply it to their parenting, and share their wonder with their children"-- Provided by publisher.
