Wondering: Feelings, Emotions and Building Resilience
Wondering presents 100 questions asked by roughly 90 students ranging in age from 8 to 14 and the different answers given by their peers and their teachers. Offering questions and answers from children who are curious, imaginative, compassionate, and surprisingly vulnerable, Wondering opens the door for children and young adolescents to have exceptional conversations about how to navigate the ever-changing world and the landscape of complex emotions and feelings inside themselves.
Young children and adolescents often have trouble expressing themselves and articulating the questions they have about living life. Wondering allows the chance to hear from their peers and mentors and opens a pathway for them to begin listening to their own inner voice.
Wondering is an interactive experience for children, young adolescents and their families to read and discuss together. This is a perfect gift for parents looking to help their child build emotional intelligence and guide their growing independence. The book also provides a wonderful opportunity for grandparents to develop a deeper understanding of their grandchildren's lives, emotional needs and concerns. Wondering can empower children to express themselves and seek concrete solutions to the challenges they face day by day.
