“To me, the inner life is peace. It is that place you can go to get through the tough things…. I don’t always have it, but I know it is there.” -- 24 year-old interviewee Children are born with an innate knowing of the spirit within. The intent of this book is to help us understand this powerful force and nurture it. No matter what our beliefs, moms and dads everywhere desire to give their children opportunities to forge their own connections with the spirit. And despite any negative influences in our own upbringing, we are determined to give our children the best. In Nurturing Your Child’s Inner Life, veteran educator and mother of three, Mary Ellen Maunz brings to life the concepts of Dr. Maria Montessori. Italy’s first woman physician and founder of the Montessori Method of education, she was thrice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, based on her profound understanding that the child is our great hope for a peaceful world. Maunz explores how to help children become more peaceful as they encounter the spirit within. Learn how your child can: • Flourish through each stage of development, even before birth • Navigate through the challenges of the teen years • Feel at home in the universe • Express harmony, good will and virtue • Understand the Golden Rule as taught in 14 spiritual traditions A brilliant, heart-warming and inspiring book. Mary Ellen's personal stories and years of experience make this both credible and easy to read and implement in daily life. This work is profound, tender and so necessary in this day and age when our children are bombarded with negative influences, media overload and the challenges of modern society. Nancy McNabb, M.S., Parent and educator The spiritual development of the child is not usually seen as a major factor in his development. Mary Ellen Maunz corrects this oversight by showing us how to nurture the child’s spirituality at its source. Her breakthrough ideas leave us marveling at the unlimited inner potential of the child—and of ourselves—to lovingly embrace the divine. Karen P. Campbell, Ph.D. Transformative learning

    This is a wonderful book, with plenty of real-life stories and practical ideas about how parents (teachers, grandparents, baby-sitters, etc.) can nurture a child's spiritual nature and help her/him become the best they can be. Ms. Maunz gives great insight into the spiritual development of a child, from before birth through the age of 12. She introduces step-by-step lessons and a "clock of virtues," which includes a list of virtues and a good number of recommended books to go with them (always appreciated!).

    For anyone interested in learning more about the "clock of virtues" and how it can be a helpful tool throughout one's life (even past the age of 12), I recommend reading Predict Your Future: Understand the Cycles of the Cosmic Clock (Climb the Highest Mountain), by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and A Spiritual Approach to Parenting: Secrets of Raising the 21st Century Child (Sacred Psychology)" by Marilyn C. Barrick, Ph.D.

    Though without children myself, I started reading this book because I have several friends who are young parents with toddlers, infants, and infants on the way. All are from a variety of churches, but I know that each one is interested in raising their children in a spiritual life. So I thought this would make a great baby gift (but I wanted to read it first to make sure.)

    I could not put the book down. I found that the concepts are not only essential for parents, but also gave me a world view that was most helpful for myself. And, my inner child was delighted and comforted by the activities and lessons that are described.

    First, this book makes the Montessori approach to education understandable for anyone. Most people have heard of the Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Maria Montessori, or seen Montessori schools around. Some of my friends have children in these schools so I know something of the views of this great educator. But, with my busy schedule, I have not always found the time for lengthy texts on the subject. Mary Ellen Maunz' summary in this book is inspiring, to-the-point, and easy.

    I also loved the descriptions of the stages of development of the inner life of the child at each age. Maunz gives us actual experiences and things to watch for in children. She coachs us on how to let the child explore safely and with encouragement. But, I took from this techniques for adults as well. Montessori described children as unfolding the divine genius within. We just need to prepare the environment and allow the process to happen with sensitive guidance. I realized that I can apply this to my interactions with my spiritually-minded grown-up friends who ask for direction. Awesome.

    Maunz also gives us practical activities and ways to present information to children of all ages. There are even resources listed for materials and children's books. I thought I would offer to help some of my friends with these ideas or use them in Sunday School when it's my turn to teach. It will be a privilege to develop relationships with children through the bond of spirituality.

    Finally, I was comforted to see that someone from any religion could read this book. Though oriented toward Christianity with a number of examples from Bible stories, Maunz shares how the system can be applied to any faith or spiritual path. She even includes a great compendium of versions of the golden rule in the world religions.

    All that was crompressed into a book that is quick and easy to read, full of warmth, great quotes, real experiences, and profound thoughts. Our children can change the world if we help them maintain the relationship to God that comes within.

    This is a must read for any adult working with children. The book simply, yet profoundly explains how we can help develop who our children are meant to be.
