Free range kids
giving our children the freedom we had without going nuts with worry
Book • 2009
In the second edition of 'Free-Range Kids', Lenore Skenazy provides a compelling and entertaining look at how modern culture fosters excessive worry about children's safety.
Using real-world examples, advice, and humor, Skenazy argues that parents and educators can step back to allow children to develop independence.
The book includes strategies for rejecting media-driven fear, giving students more independence in schools, and navigating a culture filled with warnings and fears.
It also features 'real-world' free-range parent experiences, exercises for parents, and a critique of urban myths about safety risks.
