AWAKING WONDER

AWAKING WONDER by Sally Clarkson

Summer is flying by. My family is in a stage of life where the door is constantly opening and closing with the comings and goings of work, activities, and appointments (as I write this at 7:30 am, 2 just left for dentist appointments). In years past, by this time I had all my next year's curriculum picked, purchased, and it may have been on the shelf patiently waiting for the first day of school. I'm not there yet this year. I have some things settled on but not everything. I'm okay with that. I'm pondering. I'm revisiting methods. I had one child who was too bogged down last year, and I'm determined that this year won't look like that. Why do I tell you all this? Because a title keeps coming back to my mind as I ponder, Awaking Wonder. I have been officially homeschooling for 16 years now (although I would tell you it started from pretty much day 1 with reading stacks of books to my oldest daughter 21 years ago). Sally Clarkson was one of the first authors I read on motherhood/homeschooling, and I have gobbled her work up ever since. I read this one when it came out in 2020, but I'm wanting to refresh ideas in my head,

Awaking Wonder is just what the title says. It is a book that is dedicated to helping you as a parent to awaken the wonder of learning in your child. With Sally Clarkson at the helm of this book, you can bet you're going to get the best, truly tried advice you can imagine. Sally comes alongside as the mentor most of us can only dream of having. In true Sally fashion, you can imagine her pouring you a cup of steaming tea, lighting a few candles, sitting down next to you and completely focusing on you as you relay your struggles. Then ever so gently, she'll offer up wisdom that will fill your soul and bring light to your home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
