Free-Range Parenting - Could You Give Your Child This Much Freedom?, by Lenore Skenazy
Can You Give Your Child This Much Freedom?
In this book, author and movement leader, Lenore Skenazy, shows us how we got so worried about everything our kids do, see, eat, wear, read, watch, and lick – and then she shows us how to bid our overblown worries adieu! Using real-world examples and advice, she looks at how culture forces often irrational fears down our throats. Skenazy describes how parents and educators can step back and kids can step up. This is the book that urges you to reject media’s message of “Your child is in horrible danger,” while allowing them the kinds of freedoms you probably grew up with yourself.
