Lenore Skenazy is the author of Free Range Kids: how parents and teachers can let go and let grow.

Lenore runs "Let Grow", a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting childhood independence through school programs as well through advocacy work to shift the legal boundaries of what's allowable in local communities.

Lenore also has her own podcast called "Free Range Kids with Lenore Skenazy"

We discuss:
• The rewards of free-range parenting, for our kids and for us
• What stops us from giving out children the independence which our parents offered us a generation ago
• The mental framework which keeps us trapped in a "worst first" attitude of focusing mostly on the worst possible scenario and limiting our kids based on that.
• How the illusion of control keeps us trapped.
