Description

Parents are more scared than ever. The media warn of “Stranger Danger.”


Lenore Skenazy says this is foolish. Parents should let their kids be MORE independent.


She calls it “Free Range” parenting. She says kids are healthier when given unsupervised freedom. Parents are happier too.


But what about the kidnappings?


Skenazy points out those are extremely rare. It’s MUCH safer for kids to walk outside than ride in a car, yet parents rarely worry about driving.


Today in America, some parents have even be arrested for letting their kids walk outside alone.


We asked her about that and much more, in our full interview.
