With The Wonder of Girls and The Wonder of Boys, bestselling author Michael Gurian presented his groundbreaking views of parenting.  Now, with the same breadth of vision and depth of commitment, he combines accessible analysis of cutting-edge science with the study of spiritual texts to explore the divine side of childhood, and to put forth a practical design for the care of our children's souls. 

A revolutionary vision for parents and educators alike, indeed for all who love children. The Wonder of Children is a deft blend of inspiring stories, common sense, and scientific observations that demonstrates what the soul is and how it works.  This insightful and groundbreaking book urges its readers to become aware of our children's divine inheritance, and learn how to nurture that divinity.  Sensible and informed, it shows how to protect childhood from the complexities of our age, and provides, as no book ever has, the means for bestowing upon our children the gifts of compassion, security, discipline, humility, and enlightenment. 

The Wonder of Children is a passionate and practical book that puts forth a finely wrought argument for greater attention to the spiritual side of childhood, to the very life of the human soul.  And it couldn't have come at a better time.
