Natural ParentingWelcome to Kindred, site of the world's first and only sustainable family living and natural parenting magazine. Founded in 2002, and formerly known as byronchild, Kindred is committed to supporting you towards creating a more sustainable, just and child-friendly world.
Our articles are drawn from an internationally diverse team of writers and professionals on the front lines of their fields, exploring issues that impact our children, families and planet, ranging from education, natural birth, optimal child development, medicine, psychology, healing, spirituality, politics, relationships, family dynamics, natural parenting and global and environmental issues. We translate evidence-based material from neuroscience, genetics, biology, psychology, economics and sociology into practical and understandable framework for making the best choices possible for you and your family.
Kindred is inspired by the recognition that our early life experiences play a crucial role in our emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing. Babies and toddlers who are held, touched, breastfeed and nurtured emotionally grow up to have important developmental advantages such as an ability to forgehealthy relationships, high self-esteem, healthy interdependence and social skills, an ability to self manage and overall emotional and psychological resilience and wellbeing. Being closely responsive to the emotional and psychological needs in a child's early years is known as attachment or bonding, and is the basic practice of natural parenting.
The quality of our connection with our parents and caregivers has an enormous capacity to influence how we grow up to see and relate to ourselves, others and the world around us. Love and bonding forges not only the destiny not only of the child, but of society itself. Understanding that bonding and attachment are the underpinnings to a more peaceful society, natural parenting is an important and essential contribution towards a sustainable future. Kindred's vision upholds the possibility that our greatest human potential can be achieved through healthy attached parenting and that mankind can not only survive, but thrive.
Kindred is not just a magazine; it is an alive and engaged international community that represents a movement towards making our world a better place, for ourselves and for the children.
The Kindred site offers an opportunity to change the way we think about parenting, humanity and the world we live in.
