Are you ready?
The Whispering Wild is a heart-opening tale for children (and their grown-ups) about learning to trust yourself, even when the world tells you not to. Written by Rachel Whitton, a Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and lifelong protector of children's inner wisdom, this story is for all who have ever felt "too much" or "not enough."
Rachel believes that intuition isn't just a human ability we have lost touch with, it's protective. Teaching children to trust their gut instincts can help keep them safe, especially when the safe adults in their lives aren't nearby. Children are often deeply in tune with their instincts. Before logic, pressure to please, or a fear of standing out starts to quiet that inner voice. Ignoring these natural instincts, places children in a more vulnerable position. This is especially true for neurodivergent kids (those who are Autistic, ADHDers, AuDHDers, Dyslexic, etc), who are often taught to override their natural knowing in order to fit in, feel safe or connected with their caregivers/teachers/people in authority. This book is here to change that.
The Whispering Wild invites children to stay connected to their inner voice, to know it, trust it, and act on it with confidence. It's a story about self-trust, courage, and the wild freedom that comes when we stop hiding who we really are. Rachel has also written a companion book, Discover Your Whispering Wild, to give you 7 easy mindfulness practices, to learn how to tune into your own intuition and strengthen your sense of authenticity.
For grown-ups reading along, this story can serve as a gentle nudge back to your own inner knowing-a reminder to meet yourself with compassion, to trust what you feel, and to live unapologetically from the inside out.
Let this be your reminder:
You are wise.
You are worthy.
You are wonderfully wild.
