Let the Souls of Our Children Sing: Educating Hearts and Minds

Leonora Langley, international journalist, teacher, counsellor, creative artist and author, offers a new vision for parents, teachers and carers, to bring greater joy into young people's lives. Through rich emotional language, Leonora speaks of the vital importance of nurturing children's self-awareness. She believes that mainstream education places far too much emphasis on cognition and logic because it can be counted and measured and not enough on soul development which is beyond measure. Leonora encourages a more aesthetic approach, through an increase in creative arts subjects, as an effective way for young people to explore their feelings and emotions. This is inspiring instruction to help avoid the poverty of imagination and absence of hope, the root causes of so many contemporary ills.
