Summary

Ainsley Arment has emerged as one of the most prominent voices in [this] grass-roots community。 -- New York Times

As parents, we dream of creating a magical childhood for our kids, yet it can be so easy to slip into autopilot。 Ainsley Arment--a mother of five, founder of the thriving community Wild + Free, and bestselling author--is no stranger to the barrage of decisions, opportunities, and daily tasks that each day brings。 But what Ainsley has discovered is that the magic of life isn't found in the hustle and bustle of constant activity but in the intentional ordinary decisions of our days。 And when we assume that a family has to look or act a certain way, we miss the opportunity to build a meaningful and fulfilling life together。

Drawn from her family's stories and those shared by the Wild + Free community, The Wild + Free Family explores how to create a family culture that breaks the mold by seeking to connect with our children, unleash their gifts, pursue a shared vision together, and redeem generational brokenness, among so much more。 Inside these pages are Ainsley's words of encouragement, honesty, and wisdom, guiding all parents to create a home where families can forge their own path to love stronger, live more fully, and grow closer to each other。

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review。I have heard of the Wild + Free movement and was curious to learn more, which is why I picked up this book。 I don't read a ton of parenting books, but overall I pulled some great advice from this。 Mainly the fact that we need to let go of guilt and what we "should" do as parents and be sure to parent our children the way THEY need to be parented。 It was really good in that aspect。I don't homeschool m I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review。I have heard of the Wild + Free movement and was curious to learn more, which is why I picked up this book。 I don't read a ton of parenting books, but overall I pulled some great advice from this。 Mainly the fact that we need to let go of guilt and what we "should" do as parents and be sure to parent our children the way THEY need to be parented。 It was really good in that aspect。I don't homeschool my kids and don't plan to at this point。 My husband and I work full time。 This book is definitely pro-homeschool and if you feel like that would make you feel inferior if that's not the plan for your family, then I would skip this。 There were a few instances of her opinions that didn't sit right with me also。Overall, this was good and gave some advice that I will keep in mind as I continue on the parenting journey! 。。。more

I really wanted to love this book, especially since our family is a Wild + Free Family, but I didn’t feel like I gained anything new from this book。 I feel like it was a lot of the information I’ve read in other homeschooling and nature books, rearranged, and spit back out。 So if you’ve read several homeschooling, outdoors, and adventuring books you may not gain as much as you’d like。 If you haven’t, you may take something away from this book。 Thank you NetGalley and HarperOne for the opportunit I really wanted to love this book, especially since our family is a Wild + Free Family, but I didn’t feel like I gained anything new from this book。 I feel like it was a lot of the information I’ve read in other homeschooling and nature books, rearranged, and spit back out。 So if you’ve read several homeschooling, outdoors, and adventuring books you may not gain as much as you’d like。 If you haven’t, you may take something away from this book。 Thank you NetGalley and HarperOne for the opportunity to review this book。 。。。more

Thank you to netgalley for allowing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review- all thoughts and opinions are my own。 Wild + Free is slightly controversial among my "world" of homeschooling。 Ainsley tended to come out as privileged in her first in the wild and free books regarding time alone from your children and your mental health, and this one。。。 didnt seem much different。 While I can understand her intent, I can see the other side that will most likely come up。 Overall, I think for those who Thank you to netgalley for allowing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review- all thoughts and opinions are my own。 Wild + Free is slightly controversial among my "world" of homeschooling。 Ainsley tended to come out as privileged in her first in the wild and free books regarding time alone from your children and your mental health, and this one。。。 didnt seem much different。 While I can understand her intent, I can see the other side that will most likely come up。 Overall, I think for those who enjoyed her other books- this will be no different within tastes。 。。。more
