Wisdom of Innocence: A Guide to Children’s Perspective and Self Examination

By Michael J. Falcaro

In a world filled with cell phones, iPads, and all the latest interactive gadgets, Wisdom of Innocence challenges parents to put aside the devices and interact with their children. The text is an insightful yet practical guide detailing ways to improve parenting young children through listening, engaging, and paying attention to our young people. The inspiration for the author’s drive to share this invaluable information with other parents comes from his daughter, Abigail. He hopes to inspire parents to really listen and engage with our youth, as we are raising our future. He interestingly observes that when parents start listening to their children, they may be surprised of the wisdom our innocent youth have to offer. In fact, he reminds us that we are all life learners and sometimes our greatest teachers come in smaller forms. Overall, Wisdom of Innocence is a thought-provoking guide that every parent will benefit from through an expanded and enhanced consciousness.

DEDICATED TO: ABIGAIL A. FALCARO

As an adult without children, I thought I was confident in my perspective on many things. Then you came along and I began to question everything; you made me young again. While paying attention to your perspective and outlook on life, its made me question my view on many things and change for the better. Always examine yourself instead of others and never let anyone change who you are and what’s important to you. Always be yourself and never stop loving and imagining.

Your Father,

Michael J. Falcaro

I didn’t write this for a long winded money maker or self interest portfolio builder; in-fact, I truly hope to take up the least amount of your time and hoped to articulate several key points in a minimal amount of words. Nothing is more valuable than time, and I certainly don’t desire to waste anyone’s, but rather utilize it by gaining valuable insight that will enrich both your relationship with your child or children and your own perspective of them and maybe even of yourself. I am no better of a parent than you or anyone else for that matter. I’m really not… however, I simply have had great success and happiness with building upon my children’s confidence and imagination by heavily entrenching and involving myself, for which I truly hope I’ve been able to articulate in this micro book to help you. I wrote this because I care about you, who may be a stranger to me but is ultimately doing the most important duty in our society as well, which is raising future generations while doing it the best you can with
