“Let’s stop striving to be good moms by other people’s standards and start becoming the mothers our children need.”
― Ainsley Arment, The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education

“At the heart of every child is the need for play. Play is important for creativity, learning, and interacting with peers. But it’s also the way children communicate. If we want to show our children we love them, we need to play with them. Play is the magical portal to connection.”
― Ainsley Arment, The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education

“there is nothing more natural to a mother’s heart than to look after the needs of her own children, to preserve their childhoods, and to give them the chance to be who they were made to be. We need only to keep the voices from convincing us otherwise.”
― Ainsley Arment, The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education

“A magical childhood isn’t about having the best toys, gadgets, and vacations. It’s actually the opposite. It’s about simplicity. A magical childhood is about freedom. Freedom to explore, discover, and play.”
