Subject: Welcome to the barefoot childhood forum

Growing up barefoot is healthy and important for a happy and eventful childhood, it makes you strong, keeps you close to nature and helps prevent foot deformities, ingrown toenails, fungus and other problems.

During the growth phase, shoes are often ill-fitting which is both painful and dangerous - bare feet always fit!

The ability to walk and run barefoot on a great variety of surfaces and at a wide range of temperatures down to the freezing point is in all of us; it would be neglect for parents to deny their children a chance to develop this ability.

For centuries it was standard for children to live barefoot whenever the weather allowed, including school, sports and other activities. This became less common in the 20th century, when everyone could afford mass-produced shoes. Recently a growing trend among health-minded individuals is coming up, discovering the joy of spending our spare time barefoot.

Let's start with some links
http://www.barefooters.org/ Society for barefoot living
http://barefootislegal.org/news/ Barefoot is legal
http://www.unshod.org/pfbc/ Parents for barefoot children

An article by parents letting their child grow up completely barefoot in Texas:

I hope for a lively discussion by parents, children and anyone interested!
