    Theres is healing power by walking on the soil or the ground with your feet .especially in kindergarden & primary schools kids like walking without shoes is normal here

    Taking off the shoes allow kids to be free and to just be kids. Rain is definitely having the time of her life. I just love her authentic nature. Soon your kids will be fluent in IsiZulu. One thing about South Africa is that Ubuntu is instilled in kids at schools and that shapes their manners. You are doing great in parenting guys ❤️

    Bro, going to school bare foot, that is sooo South African. I am 47, my entire primary school summers were bare foot 🦶. We would only wear shoes in winter.
    Thangs started to change in Middle School, because we were in our teen years and wearing long pants 👖 (trouser) uniform. But primary, from 1984 to 1989, it was bare foot 🦶.
    I still do in my house, and whenever I visit the farm, so nice feeling the soil

    Allow the children to walk barefeet from time to time. There are healing benefits to that. It's called grounding and that allows you to connect to the earth thus enabling the electrical current to run through your body onto the ground.

    Hi. How's the kids spelling. In SA we use English RP so our words are pronounced and spelt a little differently. It appears that one can pick up the U pronounciation in words like for example Orange. Americans pronounce it Urange. I guess that's why one doesn't see O and U in the same word like colour. I think you spell it color. Once you get back to the US, I'm sure they'll just switch to the US spelling. ✌🇿🇦
