Timothy West issues update on Prunella Scales\u2019 health<\/h3>\n

A mum has revealed that she lets her one-year-old son play in and eat mud because it is good for his immune system.<\/p>\n

Taylor Morgan, 32, has previously hit headlines for her controversial views on parenting her three children Hudson, Thompson and Gus.<\/p>\n

The American has voiced her anger at the traditional schooling system, claiming classes and homework “kills kids’ spirits”.<\/p>\n

Instead, Taylor believes children learn more through exploring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A former teacher, Taylor was on the receiving end of backlash for “unschooling” her children – but she argues children do more learning when you let them be children.<\/p>\n

She told NeedToKnow.co.uk: “It\u2019s important for them to take on risks, like climbing trees, running barefoot or playing in mud.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s through these small challenges that they develop confidence and a strong mind-body connection.<\/p>\n

“Taking physical risks, and succeeding, not only helps the brain function better but also increases self-esteem, which pours into every other aspect of life.”<\/p>\n

She noted how her one-year-old Gus “crawls around the property, though supervised of course, and loves to climb logs, play with leaves, dig in the dirt, or throw rocks”.<\/p>\n

Taylor continued: “He explores ant hills and when he gets bitten, he cries, I console him, show the hill, and say \u2018ouch.\u2019<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re wanting to raise the happiest, healthiest kids possible, then this is a must.”<\/p>\n

The mother-of-three from Arkansas shared a clip on TikTok of Gus playing in the forest dirt – a video which has so far been viewed more than 78,000 times.<\/p>\n
