My Review of  “Children’s Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World” by Donna Maria Thomas

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review. This book talks about how children experience the world and how we as adults should encourage them to express their experiences. I wish this had been around when I was a child. Having grown up being told that it is “just my imagination,” that what I saw wasn’t real, and that I had a vivid imagination, but I should focus on the real world, it is good to know that some adults do believe what children say (within reason).

I like to think that my own children are growing up with more confidence to describe their experiences and express how they feel about those experiences, and I found this book informative, interesting, and easy to read. The author is an academic and researcher who has taken time to thoroughly investigate her subject matter. She explored children that have psychic experiences, children that have near death experiences, and those that see the world differently, and she wrote about them clearly and concisely.

About the Book

Historically, children’s inexplicable experiences — from telepathy and conversing with deceased relatives to out-of-body or near-death experiences, and more — have been theorised through traditional scientific lenses that may not have the explanatory power to account for such experiences. In “Children’s Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World,” Donna Thomas shares research that she and other scholars, past and present, have conducted with children and young people across the world.

By placing children’s unexplained experiences and views about reality in the contexts of culture, consciousness and the nature of self, this book offers a middleway for explaining these childhood experiences within post-materialist science and philosophy. Thomas suggests that children’s experiences could greatly contribute to a new paradigm for understanding the mystery of being human and the nature of reality.
