Episode notes

Encouraging children to take risks and be exposed to challenges is crucial as it helps them learn to manage risk. Making children perfectly safe could lead to them being unable to handle risks as adults, potentially making them overly cautious or unprepared for life's uncertainties. While there are various factors influencing a child's development into adulthood, exposing them to risk is essential for cultivating self-management skills.

Lenore Skenazy is “America’s Worst Mom”, founder of Free Range Kids and President of Let Grow. Bret talks to her about parenting in an era of zero risk.
