This article will be published in the May June edition of the magazine. It is an excellent, alternative parenting magazine which I'm sure this blog readership would find stimulating reading. <br /><br />Here's the link to their website;<br /><br />http://www.themothermagazine.co.uk/<br /><br />Thanks so much for educating us about barefoot babies and toddlers, the whole concept was pretty new to us at the time, without your help I don't think we'd have chosen to go down that route at all, as we all need support and advice over something outside of the norm. Ewan is now 21 months old, he wears a combitnation of the soft slippers, wellies for practicalities sake, and flexible, minimalist squeeky shoes, although our mantra is to allow him to go shoeless as much as is possible. This was easier in the summer than it is now, although spring is just around the corner again, so hopefully lots of shoefree days to come. <br /><br />My husband and I have also started to consider what we wear on our feet. My husband recently bought a pair of minimalist smart work shoes, and he also runs in minimalist trainers. my next pair of running shoes and smart shoes will follow suit. I try to walk around shoeless a lot more myself too, after all the reading I've done which indicates how much healthier our feet are when we do. <br /><br />There is so much more I could write about on this subject, but it is all in the article, so buy or acquire a copy if you're interested, plus have a look at my blog, in which I write about similar themes to this one;<br /><br />www.stoneageparenting.com<br /><br />Keep up the good work spreading the word with this blog. It is through education, support and awareness building that more parents will start to question how we live our lives in the UK and how we can change and adapt for the better, for our own health and our children's health, both emotional and physical.stoneageparenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097918270025676403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616499998159489260.post-43625718168386121472012-02-26T02:04:14.030+00:002012-02-26T02:04:14.030+00:00Great post :-) So pleased to see my daughter isn&#...Great post :-) So pleased to see my daughter isn't the only one who 'scampers' across gravel barefoot!
