Stories from a Feral Childhood

How would you characterize your childhood? When we jokingly refer to our childhoods as feral, we are really talking about the kind of childhood that had fewer rules, with parents that didn’t hover and where we learned how to trust our wits when the ground gave way. We share the funny stories, the daring stories and the stories that leave us shaking our heads. We share what we learned about fairness, justice and courage. How did our childhoods affect the way we parented our own children? What were the skills that we came away with that we still use today? From building tree houses out of stolen materials and protesting being banned from the playground to running free on the beach all summer and sleeping alone in the bush, we have a lot of fun telling our stories from a feral childhood!
