The call of the wild + free : reclaiming wonder in your child's education / Ainsley Arment.

Arment, Ainsley, (author.).

Summary:

"Speaking to the growing national trend, The Call of the Wild and Free equips families to provide quality homeschool education, and encourages all parents and caregivers to raise kids to experience the adventure, freedom, and wonder of childhood"-- Provided by publisher.
Arment founded an online community of mothers and families who 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. Here she shows that 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. Her program for homeschooling 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. -- adapted from jacket.
