We’re raising kids in the most connected, fast-moving era in history. Screens are everywhere, information is instant, and the world isn’t slowing down. And while most parents want their children to thrive in this digital age—to be tech-savvy, adaptable, and future-ready—they also want something else: a sense of rootedness. A connection to the deeper, timeless wisdom that helps us grow into thoughtful, grounded, emotionally intelligent humans.
Enter Wonders of Wisdom (aka WOW), a new kind of learning ecosystem that meets this moment beautifully. Created by Tanja Murgel-Subotic, WOW is designed for modern families who believe kids can have both: the tools to succeed in a fast-paced world and the inner compass to navigate it with heart.

This isn’t about rejecting traditional education or technology. It’s about enhancing it—with creativity, emotional literacy, and soul.
What if learning wasn’t just about what kids know, but who they are?
WOW was born from a simple but powerful question: What if education didn’t just prepare children for the world—but helped them stay connected to themselves along the way?
Self education should be the first education – that vision takes shape in a series of imaginative, hands-on tools that turn ancient teachings into playful, practical everyday experiences.

The signature product—the Wonder Tree System (Children’s Edition)—comes as a five-part kit:
- A beautifully designed Wonder Tree board with magnetic elements
- An accessory box packed with 51 custom magnets, a wooden dice, whiteboard markers, and more
- Four seasonal journals (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) that follow a child’s natural rhythms
- An affirmation deck and child affirmation program to support confidence and emotional growth
Each piece is also available to purchase on its own or as part of a bundle—here’s the full WOW Child Collection.
It’s part curriculum, part mindfulness toolbox, part self-discovery adventure. Each product is designed to be as beautiful as it is meaningful—because let’s be honest, moms love good design and good intentions.
On the horizon:
- Codessence: a digital experience that helps teens and adults know themselves as creators, bridging personal growth with technology
- Children’s media: educational series
Learning tools that engage the heart and mind
WOW’s approach is built around micro-education—small, digestible learning experiences that prioritize WOW’s approach is built around micro-education—small, digestible learning experiences that prioritize presence, imagination, and personal growth. In contrast to the pressure-heavy environments many kids face, WOW brings ease and intention to learning, helping children engage with both their intellect and their intuition.

Offerings include:
- Wisdom Decks & Affirmation Cards for children, teens, and adults
- Journals and pads designed to keep individuals aligned to their potential
- Interactive games that awaken potential
- Vision boards and programs for self discovery and creative expression
It’s the kind of learning that encourages big questions and quiet moments. That teaches reflection, not just recall.
Because tech-savvy and soul-centered don’t have to be opposites
Modern education is doing a lot right—helping our kids explore science, code, culture, and the cosmos. But for many parents, there’s a desire to balance all that speed and screen time with something slower and more sacred.
Neuroscience and child development research back this up: creativity, play, and emotional safety are not optional extras—they’re core to how children learn and grow. In fact, studies from Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child emphasize that responsive relationships and imagination-rich learning environments are critical for building strong brain architecture (Harvard).

WOW supports the tech-forward world our kids are growing up in—and reminds them that some truths never go out of style.
A movement toward mindful learning
Whether your child is homeschooled, attending a traditional school, or bouncing between activities and enrichment programs, WOW offers something unique: a framework for wisdom that doesn’t feel preachy or prescriptive. Just imaginative, grounded, and completely kid-friendly.
This is more than a product line. It’s a movement—a return to wonder. A reminder that the future of learning isn’t just about being fast or first. It’s about raising whole humans who are curious, conscious, and connected to who they are.
