Fostering a sense of wonder from "summary" of 360 Degrees Longitude by John Higham
The idea of nurturing a sense of wonder is at the heart of our family's travels. It's about encouraging our children to see the world with fresh eyes, to be curious about the people and places we encounter. It's about instilling in them a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our planet. As we journey across the globe, we strive to create opportunities for our kids to marvel at the natural wonders around them - from the grandeur of the Swiss Alps to the vastness of the Australian Outback. We want them to feel a sense of awe and humility in the face of such magnificence, to understand their place in the larger tapestry of the world.
But fostering wonder isn't just about the big, dramatic moments. It's also about finding beauty in the small details - the way sunlight filters through the leaves of a tree, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, the taste of a new and exotic dish. It's about cultivating a sense of mindfulness and gratitude for the everyday miracles that surround us.
Our hope is that by encouraging our children to approach the world with wonder, we can help them develop a lifelong love of learning and exploration. We want them to see travel not just as a way to see new places, but as a way to expand their minds and hearts. We want them to carry with them the lessons of our adventures - the importance of empathy, curiosity, and open-mindedness - long after our journey has ended.
