Free-Range Kids

Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts With Worry

About the Book

Journalist Lenore Skenazy makes the case that everyday parenting has become distorted by exaggerated perceptions of risk, and that children lose important developmental experiences when they are constantly supervised. The book combines crime and safety statistics with reader letters and practical routines meant to help parents give kids more independence.
