What will the advantages be for children living in a cohousing community or ecovillage?
Many! Communities like ours are very safe because of their design with many homes facing the central green walkway. No cars are allowed there, so it’s a safe place to play, and there are many eyes on the children. Strangers are immediately noticed. Many co-housers let their children roam freely around the neighborhood because most people in the community interact with and watch out for the children. The variety of skills and interest in one’s neighbors means that there are many adults to teach skills that the parents might not have. Some communities have home schooling opportunities, also.
