Free range kids

In the second edition of 'Free-Range Kids', Lenore Skenazy provides a compelling and entertaining look at how modern culture fosters excessive worry about children's safety.

Using real-world examples, advice, and humor, Skenazy argues that parents and educators can step back to allow children to develop independence.

The book includes strategies for rejecting media-driven fear, giving students more independence in schools, and navigating a culture filled with warnings and fears.

It also features 'real-world' free-range parent experiences, exercises for parents, and a critique of urban myths about safety risks.
