Synopsis

""Ainsley Arment has emerged as one of the most prominent voices in [this] grass-roots community."" — New York TimesAs 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. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Cheyenne on August 24, 2022

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......more

Goodreads review by Joanna on October 06, 2023

I like her writing style, it’s beautiful and motivational. However, this is a very humanistic book because she gives so many Scriptural truths without referring to God or the Bible. Reading this alongside listening to M is for Mama made this especially noticeable. To think that my family values, vis......more

Goodreads review by Kara on November 05, 2022

2.5 stars I found this book to be very repetitive and slightly contradictory. It also seems to come from a place of a ton of privilege. Telling us to travel whenever possible, but also build a home for our children. Take lots of adventures, set up exciting things, but also give space to play and be b......more

Goodreads review by Laura on July 21, 2023

Ummm… this book wasn’t really for me. I have to start with how much I LOVED the first Wild & Free book about homeschooling - so many takeaways and have recommended it. This book seemed to repeat the same message over and over. As a Christian, there are a few things that would contradict my beliefs in......more

Goodreads review by Stacy on December 15, 2023

There were a few things that may have given me pause while reading this beautiful book, yet I think it is still overwhelmingly worthy to be read and helpful to make positive changes in our families. I struggle with the author's line between "friend" and "parent" with our kids and with being compassi......more
