Story
In Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that our children, if free to pursue their own interests through play, will not only learn all they need to know but will do so with energy and passion. Children come into this world burning to learn, equipped with the curiosity, playfulness, and sociability to direct their own education. Yet we have squelched such instincts in a school model originally developed to indoctrinate, not to promote intellectual growth.

Essential reading for all parents
Admittedly I was deceived by the cover of the book and initially perceived it to describe helicopter parenting. But it was quite the opposite. The book is framed by TRICK (Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness) which is a simple but essential values system for anyone including kids.
The book is made relatable through Wocicki's experiences as a parent, grandparent and high school educator.
There are many nuggets that I have and will continue to self reflect on as a parent in order adapt my parenting style for the betterment of my children.
Thank you 'Woj' for sharing this with the world!

We obviously have different ideals!
I don’t doubt that she raised some very successful daughters but after reading this book i would argue that it’s in spite of their mother and more to do with their parents and Palo Alto connections. Sending a 4 year old to the shops alone, leaving them in the car while you just run into the shops, having your teenage children travel the world and not contact you for months. These are not things to get on board with. Teaching them kindness, resilience and grit I agree but that was about it. I kept listening to find some nugget of gold but unfortunately I didn’t.
