The Wonder Approach: Rescuing Children's Innate Desire to Learn

Catherine L'Ecuyer

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2019

Ne-a atras atenția modul profund în care The Wonder Approach recalibrează busola parentală într-o eră a suprastimulării. Considerăm că această lucrare nu este doar un ghid de parenting, ci o pledoarie pentru protejarea copilăriei în forma sa cea mai pură. Catherine L'Ecuyer pornește de la o premisă pe care mulți părinți o simt instinctiv: copiii noștri cresc într-un mediu tot mai agitat, unde tăcerea, natura și activitățile spontane sunt înlocuite de ecrane și programe supraîncărcate. Personajul principal al acestei cărți este, de fapt, copilul universal, a cărui uimire înnăscută în fața lumii este amenințată de ritmul alert al adultizării premature.

Stilul autoarei Catherine L'Ecuyer este remarcabil prin echilibrul dintre rigoarea academică — fiind doctor în Științe Educaționale — și o căldură maternă autentică. Ea ne invită să redescoperim „legile naturale” ale învățării, inspirându-se din principiile Mariei Montessori și din neuroștiință pentru a demonstra că adevărata cunoaștere nu vine din noutatea șocantă a stimulilor artificiali, ci din descoperirea calmă a ordinarului. Tonul este unul de claritate și speranță, oferind soluții concrete precum expunerea la natură și respectarea ritmurilor biologice ale celor mici.

Copiii ai căror părinți au apreciat Awaking Wonder de Sally Clarkson vor găsi aici aceeași celebrare a frumuseții și a magiei învățării, însă dintr-o perspectivă ancorată puternic în cercetarea psihologică modernă. În timp ce Sally Clarkson pune accent pe moștenirea emoțională și spirituală, L'Ecuyer explică mecanismele prin care uimirea devine motorul sustenabil al inteligenței. Este o lectură esențială pentru a înțelege de ce, uneori, „mai puțin” înseamnă infinit mai mult pentru dezvoltarea armonioasă a unui copil.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte părinților și educatorilor care simt presiunea de a-și „pregăti” copiii pentru succes cu orice preț, pierzând din vedere bucuria prezentului. Veți câștiga o perspectivă argumentată științific despre importanța tăcerii și a jocului liber. Este un instrument valoros pentru a învăța cum să protejați curiozitatea naturală a copilului în fața asaltului tehnologic, transformând educația într-o călătorie plină de sens, nu într-o cursă contra cronometru.

Descriere

'This book is a must-read for parents and educators who want to refocus children's attention to one of the greatest secrets to long-term happiness - discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary' - Jessica Joelle Alexander, co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting
Children of the last twenty years have grown up in an increasingly frenzied and demanding environment so that, on one hand, education has been rendered more complicated, and on the other, the essentials have been lost to view. In order to ensure their future success, parents often feel that they must fill their children's schedules with endless activities that cause leisure, spontaneous activity, and the experience of nature, beauty and silence, to fade out of their lives.
This veritable race toward adulthood distances children more and more from the natural laws of childhood. A constant stream of loud and flashy stimuli disturbs the only true and sustainable learning that exists in them: that of calmly and quietly discovering the world for themselves and at their own pace, with a sense of wonder that goes beyond mere curiosity for the unknown or interest in novelty.
In a world such as this, it can be a daunting task for a parent or educator of young children to discern how to best raise their children. Catherine L'Ecuyer offers clarity, drawing attention to the findings of many studies of the last few decades on the effects of screen use, overstimulation and mechanistic approaches to education on young children, and suggests time exploring the real world, more silence and the 'Wonder Approach' as remedies.
Learning should be a wondrous journey guided by a deep reflection on what the natural laws of childhood require: respect for children's pace and rhythms, innocence, sense of mystery and thirst for beauty.

Recenzii

Why are our children so astonished by simple, everyday things when they are young, but less interested in learning just a few years later? Is this a natural consequence of growing older, or could we be extinguishing their sense of wonder?
Children of the last twenty years have grown up in an increasingly frenzied and demanding environment which has led to them feeling unmotivated, bored, unable to adapt to reality and suffering from hyperactivity and inattention. In order to ensure their future success, we fill our children's schedules with endless activities that mean leisure, spontaneous activity and the experience of nature, beauty and silence fade out of their lives.

'Brilliant' - Pilar Jericó, El País
'In our increasingly overstimulated world, The Wonder Approach taps into one of the most profound wellsprings of learning, motivation and meaning in our children - their sense of wonder. Peeling back the screens, over scheduling and educational tools, this book is a must-read for parents and educators who want to refocus children's attention to one of the greatest secrets to long-term happiness - discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. Highly recommended' - Jessica Joelle Alexander, co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting
'One of the most respected voices in the educational world' - Educación Docente
'Catherine L'Ecuyer is an island of common sense in a sea of people instructing you on the right way of parenting' - Rodrigo Gurtel, literary critic, Brazil
'Catherine L'Ecuyer predicted many of the problems that we face today: the overstimulation caused by hyper-education and the digital world which is blinding our children. Catherine is gifted in two ways: she writes for the wider public about scientific foundations which have been extraordinarily consistent; and she rightfully criticises our ingenuity when it comes to incorporating digital technology in our children's lives, however she does this without being pessimistic but by offering practical and beautiful alternatives' - Vicente Bellver, Professor in Philosophy of Law and Politics, Valencia University, Spain
'I highly recommend this book to all parents and teachers, to those in favour of immersing children in the natural world, to those concerned about the effects of excessive screen time and to everyone who cares about reclaiming childhood' - Kim Allsup, author of A Gift of Wonder

'Catherine L'Ecuyer's merits are not easily achieved in our times ... combining the rigour of the current neuropediatrician literature with the long-standing and consolidated expression of pedagogical and philosophical thoughts' - Hugo Lagone, Estadao newspaper, Brazil
'Uncomfortable and opportune, its presence graces the shelves that are usually filled with superficiality and conventionalism' - Santiago Álvarez de Mon, Professor at IESE Business School, Spain
