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 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!

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!!

At first I thought this book would be too "fruity" for me. I am not particularly New Age, and the talk of aura cleansing and energy fields was a little offputting to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway. My daughter, who is almost 3, has an almost eerie insight into the way others in our family are feeling, and I wanted to explore and nurture this facet of her personality. I am glad I did. I have reread this book several times now (something I rarely do) and the exercises at the end of each chapter have led me to do a lot of personal reflection on the way I was raised and the way that in turn affects my relationships with my children. I feel that as a result of those reflections I am not only nurturing my daughter's intuition but I am closer emotionally to her, and a better parent to her, as a result. Pick up a copy and give it a read; you may be surprised at what happens in your family.

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.

I'm on Amazon now to buy this book after reading my library's copy and haven't read any of Sonia's other books.

I liked this book because it dispenses practical ways to help your children (and yourself!) to learn to listen and trust themselves, as well how not to go overboard with it all. I read negative reviews elsewhere about Sonia's personal consultations, so I wasn't expecting much from the book. But this was a happy surprise; through it, there is a ribbon of warm parental wisdom as well as advice for building intuition. It really should be considered a book on general parenting. I can see, especially after starting to do a few of the things the book suggests, that this will help me not only to help my daughter build her intuition, but also to create a more loving home and to be a more nurturing parent.

The Wise Child, as with all of Sonia Choquette's books, offers easy, detailed instruction on how to nurture the intuition of a child. You will also find that this book also encourages the reader to nurture and develop their own inner child. Following these guidelines can lead to a better understanding of your own intuition as well as better understanding and communication with your children. Great for parents and teachers as well as those interested in the development of intuition and the inner child.

This is a book from a many generation psychic on how to cultivate a home where children are trusted and are taught to trust themselves. Choquette herself was raised in a nurturing home by a mother who honored the six sense. If you have a sensitive child then this can help you create a supportive environment so that a child learns to trust themself and stay out of trouble. Children who are allowed to grow in their inner wisdom are more likely as adults to choose wisely compared to counterparts who are cut off from their gut.

On the flipside: Do you due diiligence on the credentials, even at the Ph.D. level of other more woo-woo writers on this field of energy and intuitive healing .... before you listen to their counsel. Many of them have Ph.D.'s from unaccredited places ... which means they didn't go through the same kind of rigor. Sonia is one of many popular New Agey type writers along with Doreen Virtue, Carolyn Myss, John Gray, Barbara De Angelis, etc .... who are examples of Ph.D.s whose source were unaccredited universities. Please keep this in mind when venturing out to learn from an inuitive healer ...

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!
