The Natural Child Project - Celebrating attachment parenting and unschooling since 1996

Welcome to The Natural Child Project!
Our vision is a world in which all children are treated with dignity, respect, under-
standing, and compassion. In such a world, every child can grow into adulthood
with a generous capacity for love and trust. Our society has no more urgent task.
