Savoring Childhood Practical Wisdom for Slowing Down Helping Children Flourish in a Fast-Paced Culture
It is possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. You can push back against the demands of our superficial, artificial, automatic, and always-on culture. In Savoring Childhood , Grace Pouch offers small steps you can take to help children experience life at a pace where friendship with God has the time and space to flourish. Drawn from an average family’s experiments with resisting the rush of life and applying spiritual formation wisdom from voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book presents practical ways to slow things down so that children (and the grown-ups who love them) can experience and savor the world at a soul-sustaining pace. With Savoring Childhood , you’ll learn how to help your children (and yourself): • resist the formation of spirit-harming habits and appetites, • set a pace that supports freedom, connection, and depth, and • nurture skills for healthy relationships with God and others. God designed childhood to be abundant. Slow down and reclaim a childhood where kids can flourish.
