This episode explores how much independence we give our kids- physical, mental, emotional- and how frankly, that’s changed over the years, from when our guest Lenore Skenazy was a child walking herself to school at age five.  We think this is an important and thought provoking topic, and we hope you enjoy Lenore’s sensational humor. 

More on Lenore Skenazy:
After her column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” prompted massive media attention (2008), Lenore Skenazy was dubbed “America’s Worst Mom.” In response, she wrote and founded the book and blog “Free-RangeKids,” sparking the movement that says today’s kids are smarter and stronger than our culture gives them credit for. This grew into “Let Grow,” a nonprofit working to make it easy, normal and legal to give kids back some independence. Lenore is also a speaker, blogger, syndicated columnist and reality show host.
