Subscribe to my free Substack newsletter, Welcome to the Wonder Farm, where I explore changes in childhood independence and creativity—with a mix of research and personal stories—and invite readers to join the conversation. What do we think about these shifts, and how we can do better? I hope to build a community of parents, educators, and others who care about kids, from a variety of backgrounds and levels of experience. Let’s make the comments section a lively conversation!
Each month I dig into a specific cultural shift that has impacted kids’ independence and creativity. Two weeks later, I follow up with The Wonder-Room, a sort of wunderkammer or cabinet of curiosities full of links related to the original post—to which I hope you’ll contribute.
Please join the community!
