Adele and the rest of her family became known after their appearance on “This Morning” in 2016.

At the time, she shared about her beliefs in raising her children without following the traditional rules in parenting. She explained that she always let her five-year-old son and her one-year-old daughter do whatever they want.

Speaking with Barcroft, Adele said, “Traditional parenting methods rub me the wrong way. The cry-out method for the young babies… the baby has still got that in their DNA from when they used to be hunter-gatherers and they need to feel safe.”

In addition, Adele expressed that she only believes in treating her children naturally. For example, conjunctivitis, according to her, can be treated with the enzymes from breastmilk.

When playing at the outdoors, the couple said they don’t restrict their kids. They would sometimes see their children eating leaves from a tree, and they would do nothing.

A lot of people have criticized the couple for their alternative lifestyle, mainly because they fear for the safety of the kids. Still, both Adele and Matt said that they are doing what they believe is best for their children.
