Parenting The Adlerian Way
141: Naturist Families - Understanding The Philosophy, Lifestyle, And Values
•
This is one of my longer podcasts because I was intrigued with the compelling content of the discussion I had with Stéphane Deschênes, founder of the Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park and President of the International Naturist Federation. I caught up with him in Paris, France.
I learned more about the motivation behind living as naturist. Turns out it holds many Adlerian principles at its core too. We discussed the benefits for children, which is especially important given the growing rates of mental health issues for children with body image issues.
Stéphane also discusses the irrational parental fear that some parents have regarding how safe his and other parks around the world are.
A fascinating episode!
