Learning to Trust Comes From the Start

It is said that before children are trained to become human beings they are so truthful. Why? They are not yet trained in the art of denial. Their minds are clear enough to know an innate truth. Children have a wisdom all their own. Kids may be little but they are far more in tune with the what's so than adults. The Wise Child is a a program about nurturing this gift because the payoffs for a heightened awareness is positive. Being in tune is about going towards the positive and getting away from danger fast. Parents who believe in having an intuitive child will love this book. I've also considered this a book for those who were somehow taught to shut down their intuitive abilities at a young age. So if you feel like reparenting your inner child towards a state of inner knowing ... this may be for you too.

Learn how to create an environment that honors intuition!

The author has written such a beautiful book - filled with information, tools, reflections, and "exercises" -sure to help you (and your child) expand your awareness of intuition as well as how to embrace and share those "gut feelings". My favorite tool in this book was learning how when I'm apart from loved ones, I can imagine a protective light surrounding them, that keeps them safe and sends them my love. This book is truly a powerful, nurturing guide. Enjoy!

An outstanding book for parents!

This book has truly changed the way I am interacting with my children. I originally bought it because people have told me my second son (of three) is extremely intuitive and I should learn some special techniques to use with him; however, what I love most about this book is that it applies to ALL CHILDREN and will help any caring parent create a more loving environment for their family. And, I have read it twice already (something I rarely do...) I have pages marked, paragraphs underlined, and notes in the margins. I even made a "cheat sheet" to hang on the fridge for quick reference. I was going to loan it to a friend but I don't want to let go of my copy, which is why I am on this site; I am ordering it for three friends!!! This book is worth every penny and more. Read it!

A Must Read for Parents

Reading this book was the best gift I have ever given my children! I only wish my parents had had a copy when they were raising me! Intuitive, Sonia Choquette, offers dozens of suggestions including games and excercises to do with children to help them learn to honor their natural intuitive abilities. One specific example that greatly improved our family's intuitve skills was Sonia's suggestion to create our own language to describe our intuitive feelings. For example, when a child has a gut feeling that something feels scarey, they can say I have a "bad vibe" or "the willies". By teaching your children to acknowledge and honor their intuition they learn to be comfortable listening to their inner teacher, and from my experience the children become more confident and peaceful, and life goes more smoothly.

The best "how to"-book I've read!

Written beautifully it's an easy an fun book to read. Lots and lots of insights on how to nurture your and your children's intuition and soul. But beyond and above that, the "how to" or "tool" part of the book is written in a way that you just have to start immediately practicing, playing, enjoying and wondering at the marvels of life. Thank you! Sonia!!
