{"product_id":"free-to-learn","title":"Free to Learn","description":"\"A lightning bolt of a book\" makes the case for why self-directed learning — \"unschooling\" — is the best way to get kids to learn (Lenore Skenazy)\n\nIn Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order to foster children who will thrive in today’s constantly changing world, we must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, Free to Learn suggests that it’s time to stop asking what’s wrong with our children, and start asking what’s wrong with the system. It shows how we can act—both as parents and as members of society—to improve children’s lives and to promote their happiness and learning.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465084990\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKQOV000TDL_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gray, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
