About author(s): LENORE Skenazy After her column Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone created a media firestorm, Lenore got labeled America\'s Worst Mom. (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 fears Perfect 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.
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.
This is the book that has helped millions of American Parents feel brave and optimistic again - and the same goes for their kids.
Positive change is faster, easier and a lot more fun than you\'d believe.
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.
