The Age of Openness Parenting Guide
A soulful, science-backed resource to support your child’s light before the world begins to shape them.
If you’re a conscious parent, teacher, or caregiver looking to nurture your child’s inner light during the earliest years, The Little Guru Guide: The Ages of Openness was made for you. This beautifully designed 29-page digital parenting guide invites you to honor the sacred window from birth to age 8 — a time when children are still deeply connected to their intuition, imagination, and spiritual memory.
This ages of openness parenting guide offers a blend of poetic storytelling, developmental science, and heart-centered reflection to support your parenting journey with reverence, clarity, and soul. It speaks directly to the early years before the “veil” begins to lower — when the world grows louder, and children begin to seek approval over inner knowing. Our goal is to help you protect that knowing a little longer — and to reflect their light back to them while it still shines freely.
With age-by-age insights, printable affirmation cards, a keepsake activity, and conscious parenting prompts, this guide is both reflective and practical — a meaningful tool for raising intuitive, emotionally connected children. Whether you’re homeschooling, practicing gentle parenting, or simply moving at your child’s pace, this guide was created to walk with you through these sacred early years.

🌿 What Are the Ages of Openness?
The “ages of openness” refer to the first eight years of a child’s life — a developmental window when children live primarily in theta and alpha brainwave states. These states are linked to imagination, symbolic thinking, and deep subconscious imprinting. Children during this stage are not just learning from what we say — they are absorbing who we are.
In this sacred stage, they move between the worlds of spirit and form with ease. They may talk to trees, remember dreams that feel like messages, or ask questions that sound more like poetry than logic. This ages of openness parenting guide encourages you to meet them there — in that space of wonder — before the world begins to teach them otherwise.

A Treasure for Any Parent or Grandparent
The Ages of Openness is, honestly, the kind of resource I wish had existed decades ago. It feels like three or four parenting books’ worth of wisdom, but somehow it’s delivered in a concise, meaningful, and easy-to-put-into-practice way. I found myself nodding along to so much of it.
I’ll admit—I’m going to use the affirmation cards for myself as much as for my grandkids! They’re beautifully written and such a gentle reminder to slow down. This guide has already helped me be more present when I’m with my grandchildren and stay close to them in a way that keeps me invited into their little world of wonder.
I especially loved the prompts to ask my grandkids. They opened up the sweetest conversations and helped me witness this precious window of time where children are still so open to trusting, playing, and following their own intuitive nature.
What I appreciated most is how well-written this guide is—grounded in science yet rooted in mindful, everyday practices. It’s simple, easy to digest, and gives you real tools to bring more presence and mindfulness into your family life. A truly special resource for any parent or grandparent who wants to nurture connection.

This guide is such a beautiful, soulful companion for anyone raising, teaching, or loving a child in those early, formative years. As someone who has spent years studying childhood brain development, emotional regulation, and the subconscious mind, I was genuinely moved by how accurately this resource captures what I call the “sacred window” of childhood, those 0–8 years when kids are still so open, intuitive, impressionable, and deeply connected to their inner world.
What I love most is how gentle and reverent this guide is. It doesn’t lecture. It doesn’t overwhelm. It simply reminds us, with science, storytelling, and heart, how children experience the world, and how much our presence, attunement, and curiosity shape who they become.
The age-by-age insights are spot-on, developmentally accurate, and easy for any parent or caregiver to understand. The invitations and practices are simple and nurturing (not one more thing on a parent’s to-do list), and the affirmations… wow. They feel like exactly what every child wishes their adult could say to them.
This is the kind of resource I want every parent, teacher, and grandparent to have. It helps adults remember what children never forget, that the inner world matters, wonder matters, and connection is the real curriculum of early childhood.
A truly beautiful, valuable guide. Highly recommend.

As the mother of a four-year-old daughter, The Age of Openness helped me reconnect with the wisdom and wonder of childhood — and the unseen doorway we all pass through to arrive earth-side. It reminded me that my child is still closer to that world than I am, and through her, I’m able to witness those places within myself again. The guide has brought more mindfulness into our days, and the affirmations have become a beautiful daily ritual for both my daughter and my inner child.
