S10 E2: Free-Range Kids: How & Why with Lenore Skenazy

<p>Today we have a fascinating guest, Lenore Skenazy, the author of the book <em>Free-Range Kids</em> and<em> </em>the founder of a nonprofit that is making it easy, normal, and legal to give kids independence.<b> </b><br/><br/>We&apos;re diving into an intriguing topic of free-range kids and the impact it has on them when adults mitigate all risks. We&apos;ll talk about how as a society we got where we are, with parents afraid to let their kids play in the front yard or walk to the corner.
