Adele and Matt Allen, from Brighton, UK, practice “child autonomy” in raising their three children—Ulysses, 12, Ostara, 8, and Kai, 4. They let their kids make decisions about their own curriculum, bedtimes, meals, and chores. Rejecting conventional healthcare and education systems, the Allens use natural remedies and “unschool” their children, encouraging them to explore their interests rather than following a set curriculum. They believe this approach fosters independence and personal happiness, while still providing guidance. Adele reports seeing positive outcomes in her children’s interests and well-being.
