Free to Learn

Peter Gray

Free to Learn asks why children’s freedom to play, explore, and direct their learning has narrowed, and what that loss means for motivation, well-being, and responsibility. Drawing on hunter-gatherer childhoods, psychological research, Sudbury Valley, age mixing, and parenting examples, it considers how communities might restore self-directed education.
