We are socialised to believe that schooling is synonymous with education, but it's only one approach. Self-directed education puts the child back in control of their learning. This enables children to flourish in their own time and on their own terms. It enables us to put wellbeing at the centre of education. Changing Our Minds brings together research, theory and practice on learning. It includes interviews with influential thinkers in the field of self-directed education and examples from families alongside practical advice.

There’s a lot to be gleaned from this book that’s wonderful about children’s psychology and research, but the discussion of the medical model and treatments for ADHD is absolutely full of inaccuracies. For example, the author claims the only way to treat ADHD is medication and this is entirely a racket pushed by drug companies, whereas the medical recommendations for first line ADHD treatment are all lifestyle adjustments and skills. Interestingly when claiming the drugs aren’t evidence based, the focus briefly switches to depression, then back to adhd for everything else. Why? Because there is evidence of chemical differences in adhd brains? I’d love to love this book but the absolutely uninformed bull snot of this chapter has delegitimized the rest of the book for me. If this is misleading, what else is?
