Children should have “a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantment of later years, the sterile occupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength”
Rachel Carson – The Sense of Wonder (p. 42-3)
Today, the kids and I went to one of the Tulip Time parades. Both kids were wide-eyed at the shiny instruments, the colorful flags being waved about, the horses, the music.
It was magical for them.
What can I do to help make their sense of wonder "indestructible"? How can I regain my own?
