Synopsis

Allow your children to experience the adventure, freedom, and wonder of childhood with this practical and inspiring homeschool book that provides all the information, inspiration, and advice you need for creating a modern, quality homeschool education.

Inspired by the spirit of Henry David Thoreau―"All good things are wild and free"―mother of five Ainsley Arment founded Wild + Free. This growing online community of mothers and families want their children to receive a quality education at home by challenging their intellectual abilities and nurturing their sense of curiosity, joy and awe―the essence of a positive childhood.

The homeschool approach of past generations is gone―including the stigma of socially awkward kids, conservative clothes, and a classroom setting replicated in the home. The Wild + Free movement is focused on a love of nature, play-based learning, reading great books, pursuing interests and hobbies, making the entire world a classroom, and prolonging the wonder of childhood, an appealing philosophy that is unpacked in the pages of this book.

The Call of the Wild and Free offers advice, information, and positive encouragement for parents considering homeschooling, those currently in the trenches looking for inspiration, as well as parents, educators, and caregivers who want supplementary homeschool resources to enhance their kids’ traditional educations.

This book offers a refreshing roadmap for reclaiming childhood:

• Reclaiming Childhood: Move beyond the stigma of the past and discover how to prolong the magic and wonder of childhood by making the whole world your classroom.
• Nature-Based Learning: Find inspiration and practical advice for getting your children outdoors to nurture their sense of curiosity, joy, and awe through the spirit of Wild + Free.
• Child-Led Learning: Trust your instincts and learn to follow your child’s natural pace and passions, with a focus on reading great books and pursuing hobbies instead of rigid schedules.
• An Inspiring Parenting Guide: Whether you’re considering homeschooling or just need encouragement in the trenches, find the positive encouragement you need to overcome your fears and educate with confidence.
