Description - Free-range Kids by Lenore Skenazy
FREE RANGE KIDS has become a national movement, sparked by
the incredible response to Lenore Skenazy?s piece about allowing
her 9-year-old ride the subway alone in NYC. Parent groups argued
about it, bloggers, blogged, spouses became uncivil with each
other, and the media jumped all over it. A lot of parents today,
Skenazy says, see no difference between letting their kids walk to
school and letting them walk through a firing range. Any risk is
seen as too much risk. But if you try to prevent every possible
danger or difficult in your child?s everyday life, that child never
gets a chance to grow up. We parents have to realize that the
greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise a child who
never encounters choice or independence.
