Blog Post List (Primal Parenting, Primal Wounds, Self-Transformation, etc)

Many of these blog posts concern the Evolved Nest (Evolved Developmental Niche), a set of practices over 30 million years old for social mammals and particularly intense for human beings because we are born 18 months early compared to other animals (we should be in the womb another 18 months). These practices include: soothing perinatal experiences, responsiveness to needs (avoiding distress), physical affection (and lack of corporal punishment), breastfeeding on request, self-directed free play with multi-aged playmates and in the natural world, multiple responsive adult caregivers, and positive social support. For academic papers, see The Evolved Nest (Evolved Developmental Niche).

Child Humiliation
