Welcome to Natural Childhood.


This site is provided as a resource for people active in the struggle to promote human rights for children. In particular we publish material drawing inspiration from the nurturing family model framework.

Natural Childhood counter pose the progressive model to authoritarian and punitive family models and demonstrate that "traditional" family values that incorporate corporal punishment and rigid doctrinaire control of children is psychologically and physically harmful to the developing child.

Hi Penne

Your very welcome to the videos, I'd like to participate, but not sure what I can do. Marshall Rosenburg is very cool and I love his NVC work.

Thanks for your comments @ Child person and Raymond. Alice Miller books and writings changed my life, and was a main inspiration for this blog. One day maybe children and young adults will grow up in a nurturing emotionally healthy family, which is the human right.
