This book should be required reading for anyone in the field of education. It reaffirmed my belief that all children are equal and should be taught according to what they are ready to learn. I highly recommend this book!

"Spirit Whisperers" should be a must-read for all teachers. It should be read and re-read periodically to reinforce the content. The book teaches teachers to nurture the spirit of the child, that is help them grow and blossom. It helps us teach students to take responsibility for their actions, while at the same time being respectful in our dealing with them. It also is developmentally appropriate.

I found this book insightful and inspiring. He has a great way of reminding us that children are people with needs too. He gives good examples on how to get kids to cooperate in their learning. A great book for community building in your classroom and for peaceful resolutions to problems.

Excellent-inspirational says it mildly! Anyone who teaches should read this book and keep it on their shelf for a handy reference.

What a wonderful reminder of what we all should be doing with children not for them!!

I bought an extra copy of this book to give to the Vice-principal of my grandchildren's elementary school. It seems educators today are more interested in the AIMS scores than in the development of our children. Thank you Chick for this inspirational, educational, directional masterpiece!
