This well-loved copy of “How Children Learn” by John Caldwell Holt is a seminal work in the field of education and child development. Published in 1969, it was one of the earliest and most influential books to challenge traditional teaching methods and advocate for a child-centered approach to learning. Holt, a former teacher and educational theorist, drew upon his own experiences in the classroom to argue that children are natural learners who thrive when given the freedom to explore their interests and learn at their own pace. His ideas laid the foundation for the unschooling movement and inspired generations of parents and educators to rethink the way children are taught. Despite its age and well-worn condition, this book remains a treasured classic for those interested in progressive education, child psychology, and the history of educational reform. Its timeless insights continue to resonate with readers seeking a more holistic and nurturing approach to fostering a love of learning in children.
