Public debate on non-monogamy frequently triggers strong responses, particularly regarding the upbringing of children. While we have spent decades arguing about what adults want from their relationships, we’ve spent far less asking what children actually need from their families. 

With family dynamics shifting, maybe it’s time to focus on what shapes a child, and whether the relationship structure they’re raised in matters less than the stability, love and honesty it affords.
