Volume VIII – Children in Community

Do children thrive in community? Many believe not only do they thrive, but so do their parents who have a wider and more accessible support network. Children gain more adults as role models as well as instant playmates. They may have intriguing facilities and landscapes to explore without taking a car ride to get there, and considerable options for education.

The following 22 articles will help you understand the benefits and challenges to raising children in community, as well as the myriad of learning options for children in this unique environment.

You will recognize authors leading the intentional community movement, representing cutting-edge thinking and how-to explorations of the social, ecological, and economic aspects of sustainable living.
