Raising Free Range Kids

This week’s guest is well-known for her views on parenting and ideas including

‘Free Range Kids’, which is also the title of her book, and she is the president of Let Grow, a non-profit promoting childhood independence & resilience. She is not afraid to speak her mind about many topics, and that’s what we love most about her. She was previously a regular columnist for the New York Sun until 2008, and has done stints at NPR, Mad Magazine and the New York Daily News.

Currently most well-known for her show ‘World’s Worst Mom’; which is about training overprotective parents to give their children more independence, she has become both a provocative and stir-creating name with more attention than ever. She has also starred in the shows ‘Bubble Wrap Kids’, #nojoke and Penn & Teller. Today we will be talking about the silent killer in your pantry and why kids should wear leashes. I’m totally kidding. Strap in, because we are about to talk about one of the most controversial topics ever—parenting. Welcome to the show, America’s worst mom, Lenore Skenazy!
