Summary
This enduring classic of educational thought offers teachers and parents deep, original insight into the nature of early learning. John Holt was the first to make clear that, for small children, "learning is as natural as breathing." In this delightful yet profound book, he looks at how we learn to talk, to read, to count, and to reason, and how we can nurture and encourage these natural abilities in our children.

Eye opening
This was my first book on audible and I highly recommend it. Kids are inquisitive naturally and we should nurture that.

Children are born to learn
I am so thankful that many years ago I heard of John Holt. I home educated my four children and what a thrill and pleasure to watch them learn in exactly the way that John describes. This book is the perfect insight for people who want to find out how to best facilitate their children's learning and that is stepping back and letting them get on with it, turn off your teacher voice, answer what you are asked and be able to say: "Hmmm! I don't know. I will have to look that up." Show your child by your example that not knowing and finding out is normal.

Essential reading for anyone who spends time with children!
If you like children, spend time with them in any capacity and are interested in how to be useful to them in their healthy development and learning, you need to read this book. I wish I’d read it when I was much younger, before I even thought of having children. I feel like my children and any others I spent time with would have benefitted enormously. I’m using John Holt’s insights in my parenting now but can’t completely undo the damage caused by not knowing all of this when they were born.
