Template:Children's Houses

Kibbutzim in Israel originally reared all children communally in Children's Houses]]. The children would live in the Children's House only seeing their parents for a few hours after work. The Children's Houses were staff by dedicated personal from amongst the kibbutz members. It isn't clear how kibbutzim dealt with these staff having children.

The Children's Houses were ultimately a failure and rarely survived more than one generation in most kibbutzim. Virtually all adults brought up in a Children's House demanded that their children live them rather than in the Children's House.

In addition, many of the people brought up in Children's Houses together treated each other as siblings. This prevented many of them from forming romantic relationships with each other and threatened the future stability of the Kibbutzim.
