The Call of the Wild and Free

Reclaiming the Wonder in Your Child’s Education, A New Way to Homeschool

By: Ainsley Arment

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

Allow your children to experience the adventure, freedom, and wonder of childhood with this practical guide 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, 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 during this audiobook.

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 resources to enhance their kids’ traditional educations.

This goes far beyond homeschooling...

This book helped me not only in schooling my children but in all aspects of my parenting as I grew in confidence that I am able and enough to help my children in this wonderous time of childhood. This book has also helped me in my journey as a foster parent where I have to work with a team with others with varying opinions on the best interests of vulnerable children. Often times some team members may try to hold the children to standards they can't meet due to trauma or just individual strengths and weaknesses. This book helped me become fierce in advocating for them.

Loved!

I loved this book. She explains so eloquently how I feel about homeschooling! I might just listen again right now!

absolutely phenomenal.

Every part of this book resonated with me so much. I highly recommend it. I wouldn't listen to it if you don't want to completely question conventional schooling.
