Dear Friends -

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, Margaret and I are moving to the Bay Area this Summer as I begin working in my new capacities as Assistant Head of School for the Early Childhood Program at The Renaissance School, in Oakland, CA, and Director of Education for Sea Pines Montessori Academy in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Work begins for me today and Margaret will follow — with our possessions in tow — when our house sells.

Feedback from teachers and parents using the revised edition of THE SELF-AWAKENED CHILD Series has been very positive. The 15 books in the series each focus on the development of a specific quality and include exercises that help children 3 – 9 years old reach their full potential as conscious and caring beings. Children intuitively respond to the universal principles that are the foundation of the exercises, and incorporate the qualities into their thinking and behavior with minimal prompting from adults.

Many adults also tell us they notice positive changes in their own thinking and behavior patterns just by teaching the exercises to the children they live and work with! Qualities of the self-awakened child — “Acceptance,” “Assertiveness,” “Compassion,” “Courage,” “Creativity,” “Forgiveness,” “Honesty,” “Kindness,” “Loyalty,” “Peace,” “Respect,” “Responsibility,” “Self-Discipline,” “Trust,” and “Unity” — are also qualities of the master teacher, exceptional school leader, and caring parent.

To help you get a good start on the coming school year, we’re offering the complete set of 15 books in THE SELF-AWAKENED CHILD Series for $140 through July 31 st — $25 off the standard price of $165, $40 less than it would costs to purchase each book individually. Please visit my web site at www.jonathanwolff.org/catalog.htm for ordering information, and please let me know how you are using the exercises in your classrooms and homes.

Wishing you a very happy Summer!

On Behalf of the Child,
