the call of the wild and free ainsley arment

Ainsley saw her son's love for learning ignite again and wonder began to form his education. The joy came from doing life together at home and in nature. The joys they experienced, the wonder and their early concerns. It's about that natural born wonder.'Īinsley shares how the first few years of homeschool unfolded for them. 'It's less about the childishness, and more about the child-likeness. She wanted him to have his childhood back and homeschooling looked like the best option to do that. Ainsley decided that instead of letting his light dim she wanted to give him wonder, freedom and curiosity. And his desire and innate curiosity to learn started to dim. She noticed as he spent more time in school he started to become distant and began to care more about what the other kids thought of him. It wasn't until her oldest began school that she started to reconsider. When Ainsley began her motherhood journey, homeschooling was not something she ever considered. She and her husband Ben homeschool their five children Wyatt, Dylan, Cody, Annie, and Millie, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her new book, The Call of the Wild + Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education was published in September. Ainsley is also co-founder of Wild Explorers Club and the Wild + Free Farm Village, and host of the Wild + Free podcast.

Ainsley Arment is the founder of Wild + Free, a community of mothers that are changing the preconceived notion of what it means to homeschool.
