Lenore Skenazy⁠ is the president and co-founder of ⁠Let Grow⁠, the nonprofit she started with Jonathan Haidt, Peter Gray, and Daniel Shuchman to make childhood independence easy, normal, and legal again. In 2008, she let her 9-year-old son ride the New York City subway home alone, wrote a column about it, and was promptly dubbed "America's Worst Mom" by the national media. She turned that firestorm into Free-Range Kids, the book and blog that launched a movement. A former New York Daily News columnist whose writing has appeared everywhere from NPR to Mad Magazine, her 2025 TED talk, "Why You Should Spend Less Time with Your Kids," was named to TED's list of the ten essential talks of the year, and her work has helped pass childhood independence laws in more than a dozen states. The second edition of Free-Range Kids, subtitled How Parents and Teachers Can Let Go and Let Grow, is out now.

Lenore Skenazy joined host Robert Glazer to talk on Childhood Independence, How Fear Spreads, and Why Free-Range Is Not Neglect.
