Wonder Together is a practical guide for supporting deeper curiosity during everyday moments with children ages 6–8.

Inside, you will find:

• How curiosity shifts at this age from noticing to connecting ideas and why that matters for long-term thinking

• Simple language you can use when your child asks bigger “why” and “what if” questions

• The familiar WONDER framework, leveled up to support reasoning instead of just observation

• Practical prompts that help children notice patterns, cause and effect, systems, scale, and change during cooking, walks, homework, play, and everyday conversations

• Guidance on how to pause before answering so thinking can develop

• A reminder that you do not need the right answers, only space for your child to think out loud

Shaped by over a decade of working with young children, teaching middle school science, and parenting, this guide offers a calm, grounded way to support growing reasoning without turning moments into lessons or adding more to your day.
