Parent Time

Children of all ages in The Family were often cared for in conditions similar to boarding schools in that their "shepherds" (caretakers) were responsible for them in a group with children spending limited time with their parents.

This was common due to the high ratio of children to adults within The Family and "Parent Time" became a mandated practice in which children were spent time with their parents or guardians. Generally, this was scheduled for an hour after dinner time.
