Description
Changing Our Minds: How Children Can Take Control of Their Own Learning
For many children, the transition from playful exploration to structured schooling can be a significant turning point. As a result, motivation to learn often drops dramatically, replaced by apathy and anxiety. However, this is not an inevitable outcome. By shifting the focus from traditional schooling to self-directed education, children can regain control of their learning and flourish on their own terms.
This book brings together research, theory, and practical advice on self-directed education, including interviews with influential thinkers and examples from families. Dr Naomi Fisher, a clinical psychologist and EMDR consultant, shares her expertise and hands-on experience raising self-directed learners to provide a comprehensive guide to putting self-directed education into practice.
