Anthony Esolen’s Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of your Child is a favorite book of both me and my mom . (Quotes from the book have actually been featured in other Wednesday with Words posts on this blog) In the book, Mr. Esolen examines the various ways in which we stifle our children’s imaginations; dreary education without real facts, keeping them mostly inside, killing their love of literature. I highly recommend this book and its companion volume Life Under Compulsion to everyone.
