361. Growing Wild With Ainsley Arment - Brave Writer | Lyssna här

What if the best thing we can give our kids isn’t a perfectly planned education, but a childhood that leaves room for wonder?

We’re joined by Wild + Free founder Ainsley Arment to talk about her new picture book, Grow Wild, My Child, and the philosophy behind a childhood rooted in nature, curiosity, story, and play. We explore Ainsley’s unexpected path to homeschooling, the origins of Wild + Free, and why wonder and rigor don’t have to compete.

We also dig into screens, AI, child-led learning, family culture, and the joy of following “contagious obsessions” wherever they lead.

Join us for a refreshing reminder that learning doesn’t need a worksheet to count.
