Items related to The Whole Child: Restoring Wonder to the Art of Parenting
The Whole Child is a beautifully written book combining classic philosophical themes like wonder and happiness with modern parenting virtues like courage, compassion, integrity, and discipline. Seamus Carey uses anecdotes from his own experience as a parent, some amusing and some poignant, to illustrate philosophical concepts. The result is a rare work, as valuable to the serious student of philosophy as it is to Carey's fellow parents. Carey argues that parents need to rediscover the sense of wonder—the ontological depth—with which children experience life, and offers suggestions for how this recovery might take place. In so doing, Carey uncovers standards and ideas for raising children that reach beyond those typically considered by the modern family.

About the Author:
Seamus Carey is assistant professor of philosophy at Manhattan College, with specialties in philosophy of the family and ethics. He is the father of two daughters and one son.
Review:
With intelligence, imagination, and insight, Seamus Carey uses the philosophical tradition to illuminate key personal and moral dimensions of parenting. The Whole Child is a book that will help us think more deeply and love more wisely. (Roger S. Gottlieb, author of A Greener Faith: Religious Environmentalism and our Planet's Future)
Seamus Carey's inspired book on the art of parenting is filled with both mindful insights and real-world truths. The Whole Child is a gift to parents (and their children!). (James Mustich Jr., president and owner, A Common Reader)
Any new endeavor along these lines should be given serious attention and notice. (Metapsychology Online)
Carey brings the full weight of his philosophical training to bear on this project, yet writes with the pen of a poet. His stories have universal resonance and his message is one of hope and healing. I recommend this intelligent and elegant book to all those adults―parents, teachers, and therapists―who have the opportunity to love children and to profoundly shape their humanity. (Amelio A. D'Onofrio, psychologist and adjunct professor, Fordham University)
