Ainsley Arment is a homeschooling mom of 5 and founder of Wild + Free, a community of homeschool mothers who have banded together to offer their children not only a quality education, but also a childhood filled with adventure, freedom, and wonder. Ainsley is the author of several books including her newly released children’s book, Grow Wild, My Child.
In this episode, Ainsley shares her homeschool story and how she discovered that reclaiming childhood and preserving wonder does not take away from a child’s education, but instead gives them a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.
