Catherine Lecuyer is the author of the book Educate in amazement. A highly recommended reading since it sets the standard for happiness as an ingredient that starts from contemplation and the ability to observe things as the first time. Today, children receive so many stimuli through the different screens that this excess of information, far from being an incentive for astonishment, kills it. There is a very different context to promote this attitude towards life:
1. From the author's point of view, silence It is that vital ingredient that defines every human being and wanting to flee from silence is like wanting to kill what really defines us. Through silence, the child discovers the environment around him, asks questions and enhances his restless mind.
2. It is highly advisable, too, respect the child rhythm in learning processes. Currently there is a negative fact. Childhood is shortened and adolescence is advanced. Burning stages quickly means negatively accelerating the growth process.
3. One of the main mechanisms for wonder is to create a beauty universe around the world of children. But this maxim can also be applied to our daily routine by all adults. And a very enriching beauty scene is organizing excursions to nature. When the author talks about the concept of beauty, she does so from its deepest roots and not from the aesthetic point of view, since while fashion is changing that which is beautiful in itself because it transmits its truth and goodness according to its nature, it is in a timeless way. Only by appreciating the value of the profound beauty of the world and of life is it possible to appreciate happiness in little things.
