Emily Greene

rediscovering the joy of learning in a pandemic-stricken world

This inspiring book will help you revive your child's enthusiasm for learning by reigniting their curiosity, passion, and joy. Emily Greene lays out an uplifting, achievable way for parents, caregivers, and educators to help children thrive during pandemic-era schooling and beyond. Pandemic-era learning exposed deficiencies in our outdated education system and left our families mentally, emotionally, and academically fatigued. With insightful research, inspiring stories, tips, ideas, activities, and checklists, this book helps lighten the load we feel as the world adjusts to new ways of learning. Greene inspires action with practical strategies to bring back balance and optimism as we reimagine school through the Seven Wonders of Learning: Unlearning, Free Time, Curiosity, Making, Creativity, Individuality, and Joy. Readers walk away empowered with a new perspective on the future of school and a better way for children to learn. No matter what type of schooling your family is experiencing, from distance, hybrid, and in-person learning, to homeschool, unschool, or a learning pod, this book will help you nurture a lifelong love of learning in your child. -- From publisher's description
