Bertrand Russell on raising children to be free, fearless, and kind. Drawing on running his own school, he sets out a bold, humane philosophy of upbringing that prizes curiosity, courage, and independence over obedience and fear. Clear and provocative, it questions much that parents take for granted. A landmark book on education from one of the great minds of the century, still capable of changing how you think about children.
