Amazon.com Review

Sonia Choquette is an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher who has taught individuals as well as corporate staff members to claim and understand their intuitive and creative potential. (Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, considers Choquette her personal mentor and teacher.) Over the years, students have often asked Choquette how they can foster their children's innate intuition and creativity. This book is a welcome answer to this parental quest.

Choquette has divided this outstanding resource into three sections--each part representing the three stages of nurturing intuition. The first section teaches parents how they can awaken and commit to their own intuition, spirituality, and creativity. The second stage focuses specifically on "Embracing Intuition." Choquette discusses energy fields, children's auras (and the need for after-school aura cleansing), and fostering children's imaginations and inner guidance systems. Lastly, Choquette offers parents specific tools for gaining support from spiritual guides, teachers, healers, and helpers. Parents who long to discuss and learn more about raising spiritual beings will be greatly satisfied with this intelligent and altogether wise family resource. --Gail Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Parents, January 20, 2000

By	Diana Chapman (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book for parents!, January 31, 2001

By	julie m shipman (englewood, colorado United States) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to create an environment that honors intuition!, April 3, 2001

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!
