Learn to raise independent, can-do kids with a new edition of the book that started a movementIn the newly revised and expanded Second Edition of Free-Range Kids, New York columnist-turned-movement leader Lenore Skenazy delivers a compelling and entertaining look at how we got so worried about everything our kids do, see, eat, read, wear, watch and lick -- and how to bid a whole lot of that anxiety goodbye. With real-world examples, advice, and a gimlet-eyed look at the way our culture forces fear down our throats, Skenazy describes how parents and educators can step back so kids step up. Positive change is faster, easier and a lot more fun than you' d believe. This is the book that has helped millions of American parents feel brave and optimistic again - and the same goes for their kids. Using research, humor, and feisty common sense, the book shows:How parents can reject the media message, "Your child is in horrible danger!"How schools can give students more independence -- and what happens when they do. (Hint: Teachers love it. )How everyone can relax and successfully navigate a judge-y world filled with way too many warnings, scolds and brand new fearsPerfect for parents and guardians of children of all ages, Free-Range Kids will also earn a place in the libraries of K-12 educators who want their students to blossom with newfound confidence and cheer.
Ever since her column "Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone" created a media firestorm, Lenore Skenazy has been declaring that our kids are smarter and safer than our culture gives them credit for. In response to the blowback, she started Free-Range Kids, the blog-turned-book-turned-movement that garnered her the nickname, "America' s Worst Mom. " (Google it!) She has lectured everywhere from Microsoft to DreamWorks to the Bulgarian Happiness Festival (a real thing) as well as schools and conferences across the country. You may have seen her on The Today Show, The Daily Show, Dr. Phil, or her own reality show, World' s Worst Mom. Lenore is co-founder and president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence. Before all this, she was a columnist at The New York Daily News and New York Sun. And before THAT she used to write for Mad Magazine, and Cracked. (Note: She did not "write for crack. ") Lenore lives in New York City with her husband and beloved computer.
