These Parents Raise 'Free-Range' Kids: No Medicine, No School Routine, No Bedtime

September 29, 2017

Meet the Allens - a family who believes in an all-natural approach to raising their children.

Parents Adele and Matt refuse modern medicine, traditional schooling and encourage full-term breastfeeding.

Adele, 32, and Matt, 33, from Brighton, call their parenting style "Off-Grid Parenting" and their children Ulysses, 5, and Ostara, 1, are therefore both still breastfed, have never visited a doctor and will not attend a mainstream school.

When Adele, a writer, fell pregnant with her son, the couple's controversial methods felt completely natural to them. Adele gave birth to both her children, completely unassisted and with no medical intervention with only her husband Matt by her side.
