The Wise Child: A Spiritual Guide to Nurturing Your Child's Intuition

by Sonia Choquette

"Connecting to our intuition unites us with both our soul and the soul of the Universe, Divine Spirit. It takes away our fearful sense of isolation and inadequacy. It replaces fear with a sense of spiritual direction and safety. The world becomes friendly, nonadversarial, and welcoming. Life becomes joyful, amusing, generous, and abundant. This is the divine plan. The intuitive life is one of confidence, inner peace, and creative expression. What better gift to ourselves and our children?"

How can I help my children to thrive and prosper? How can I ensure that they will not become unhappy and frustrated as I have been? These are the questions that inspired Sonia Choquette to write this profound and accessible book explaining--through spiritual principles, modern-day parables, and practical exercises--how even busy parents can help children connect to their own source of divine guidance.

I have been reading this book for a while. It has quite a bit of really good information and challenges you to practice methods it teaches. I believe it is written with the parent/guardian in mind. As a grandmother it is really impossible to do all that is requested. I do believe that it contains good and solid advice to follow pertaining to children. I wish that I had this book when my children were small.

Absolutely one of the best parenting books I've even read.

You might think this is just for children or about children, but anyone can benefit from this book. Sonia is a psychic, a lapsed Catholic, and is all about intuition. So you have to be open to that. I liked it a lot.

One of the most important things child learns in life is to set boundaries so that others will not manipulate him. Teaching children to feel their auras, to be aware of how other people's energy affects them, to clean away the energy that they don't like, or to walk away from it at any time will give them tools of intuitive self-care. It's best to teach children intuitive self-defense and give them tools they can use anywhere, anytime, on their own, to identify trouble and move away from its source.

Personal empowerment
Be conscious of how other people affect them.
child can move away from someone who displays aggression, anger, even dangerous and unsettled
take toxic energy outside (fighting and squabbling) otherwise they must negotiate their quarrels in a civilized fashion inside. Parents should do the same and keep their negativity away form their kids (kids remind the parents otherwise).
the best tool of protection you can ever offer your kids is consciousness. Teaching them how to be conscious of their energy, to be self-loving, to be selective in what they allow to affect them, and to be proficient at clearing their energy will give them tools to keep them safe in the world.

What I liked I really liked! Oddly enough I started this book by going to chapter 8, but then the only child I am currently mentoring is my own Inner Child. The other stuff didn't pull me in because I wasn't looking to be pulled in. I love the idea of being a child of someone like Sonia's: oh to revel in our natural psi abilities while still young, wouldn't that be grand?!! I believe this book and books like this are so important...we must support our youth in their being their highest selves.
