Description
Imagine being stuck on a crazy merry-go-round that won't stop. You're spinning endlessly, unable to focus or catch your breath.
This is the reality for many children today, caught in the frantic pace of life. Forces beyond their control rush them along, moving so fast that there's little room for God in their thoughts or on their calendars. They're left struggling to establish roots in community, reliable morals, or any kind of relationship with God.
The good news is it's 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.
With this book, you'll learn how to
- 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.
Advance Praise
"Savoring Childhood by Grace P. Pouch is a book written out of the crucible of lived experience. This makes it of enormous value, not only for our children but for us as well. There is a gentleness in the words that calls us to a deeper, fuller life of unhurried peace and power. I recommend it highly."
-Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline and Streams of Living Water
"As a parent in today's fast-paced world, I am deeply grateful that Grace P. Pouch's voice exists to guide us into the ancient and timeless teachings of Christ. Savoring Childhood is exactly the kind of text we need: a soulful meditation on how we can teach a generation—and ourselves—how to be present in the real mystery of becoming. This is a stunning and essential book."
-Joseph Fasano, author of The Magic Words
"In our frenzied, fast-paced, attention-grabbing world, it is increasingly important for parents and caregivers to find ways to slow things down for children. Indeed, with our fully formed adult brains, we have the cognitive ability to do what our children cannot yet. When it comes to becoming tech-intentional (TM), this means putting skills before screens and prioritizing relationships. Savoring Childhood provides a guide for parents to rethink family life through a lens of slowing down, with plenty of practical and tactical strategies to do so."
-Emily Cherkin, author of The Screentime Solution
