Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive
What if helping children boost their mental and emotional well-being, strengthen their social ties, and support their curiosity and internal motivation were as simple as rediscovering awe? Through research, interviews, and personal stories, Deborah Farmer Kris explores how awe and wonder can and should be a part of every childhood, and how becoming awe-seekers can change readers lives and their parenting in profound and concrete ways. In this book structured around seven of the most common sources of awe identified by Dacher Keltner and other awe researchers, Farmer Kris breaks down the science of awe, connecting the research to what we know about how kids learn and grow and anchoring it with four of her personal parenting tenets that dovetail with awe-seeking.
