Episode notes

The essence of childhood is learning to manage risks by experiencing hurt and facing challenges, as this prepares individuals for adulthood with higher stakes. Experiencing injuries and failures as children are pivotal for developing skills to navigate risks and lead a safer and more fulfilling life. Conveying this message is crucial, as childhood should entail facing challenges to build resilience and prevent avoidable harm or fear in adulthood.

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.
