Episode 18- Childhood Independence with Lenore Skenazy

Episode 18 features guest Lenore Skenazy, President and Co-founder of Let Grow. After her newspaper column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” landed her on NPR, Fox News and everywhere in between, Lenore went on to write Free-Range Kids, the book-turned-movement. She has been profiled in The New Yorker, hosted the reality show, “World’s Worst Mom,” and has lectured everywhere from Disney to Microsoft to schools across the country — and the Bulgarian Happiness Festival. Lenore predicts that one day every school will be doing The Let Grow Experience, which she describes as the fastest – and most fun – way to keep childhood anxiety at bay.
