About this audiobook

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.

Bestselling 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

    I admire Sally Clarkson but this is not her best work. Much too long on her own personal musings and much too short on practical application.

    Awaking Wonder stands as the best nonfiction book I have read in 2020. Sally Clarkson’s heart for encouraging parents to embrace wonder resonates on every page of the book. She offers fascinating insights into her personal journey as she presents her case for the importance of cultivating wonder. She challenges parents to strive for ideals and model attributes they want their children to emulate. Yet, she balances ideals with real life realities such as household chores and family conflicts. Near the end, she discusses openly what she would have done differently. Reading Awaking Wonder felt like sitting down with a wise, beloved mentor. I felt affirmed in my choice to homeschool. Certain suggestions and ideals inspired me to strive for excellence. Most importantly, the author’s encouragement infused me with excitement and joy to continue our homeschooling journey.I recommend Awaking Wonder: Opening Your Child’s Heart to the Beauty of Learning by Sally Clarkson to all homeschooling parents. Though the concepts of the book can be applied by all parents, the heart of this book is centered on homeschool-style education.Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.

    I enjoy Sally Clarkson a lot and look up to her, however, this book felt slow and super repetitive. I gleaned a few things from it but I’m thankful that I could read thru this on 2x speed.

    I am so inspired, and committed to this journey. I have made peace with my home, my garden, my insecurities. I look forward to being an excellent Mom, and doing the best for my precious children. I love my family more (if that was even possible) and I feel so much gratitude that these are my children. My family. My home. My garden. Thank you!
