Subject: How to let your children grow up barefoot

Simply keep their feet free from birth, play a lot and let them use their feet to play before they even walk.
Create a barefoot-friendly environment in your home and garden, by putting cozy rugs/carpets on the floor in their room, and cleaning up the garden of any hazards.
You can also get together with neighbours and help clean the community so your kids won't step into anything dangerous once they go outside.
Don't be too afraid of injury, they'll be tough pretty soon.
There is no reason to worry about coldness until your children complain about cold feet ...
It's also a good idea to give a good example. Make a barefoot house rule (everyone at home has clean bare feet) so it's the most normal thing to them as they grow up.
If you can, offer the kids a chance to play barefoot in the garden such as a sand box or possibility to climb on a tree.
There are now numerous daycare facilities that promote being barefoot. And even in school there is often no explicit dress code, though it may be necessary to convince the teachers it's good and healthy if kids are barefoot.
