Air Nomads are raised by monks. Seeing as how nomads are wanderers of nature, they are left after birth and the parents roam around the world, or travel to their respective temples. The children are separated from their parents as well as from the opposite gender in order to reduce distractions and prevent earthly attachments from forming.
