About this product
Product Information
Wild Curiosity brings together cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology research with simple, effective advice for parents and teachers on how to ignite the fire of curiosity in children. The author offers a new way to think about parenting and teaching--one that values autonomy, creativity, and celebrates the spontaneous and unexpected joys of learning. Following the groundbreaking work of researchers like Peter Gray and thought-leaders like Richard Louv, the book offers justification for the de-institutionalization of learning and a roadmap for how to create engaging, inspiring, and exciting experiences to nurture curiosity for children of all ages.

Wild Curiosity offers remarkable insight into what truly motivates us all to learn. Shonstrom's writing merges prominent research in this field with intellectual and witty insight into the nuances of curiosity, motivation, and learning. This book encourages us to reasonably question the institutional structures and practices of schooling that shape our society. It beckons us to remember what we most likely knew at one point in our lives: that it is inevitable that we will at some point follow our own untamed curiosities and that perhaps we should embrace a more natural way of learning--one that values wonderment, awe, experience, ambiguity, and desire., Through the lens of wondrous curiosity, Erik Shonstrom challenges teachers to revisit the soul and art of teaching.

Using examples drawn from modern neuroscience and research in psychology, author Erik Shonstrom offers insight and tidbits of wisdom for inspiring curiosity in children.

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
