Today we have a fascinating guest, Lenore Skenazy, the author of the book Free-Range Kids and the founder of a nonprofit that is making it easy, normal, and legal to give kids independence. We're diving into an intriguing topic of free-range kids and the impact it has on them when adults mitigate all risks. We'll talk about how as a society we got where we are, with parents afraid to let their kids play in the front yard or walk to the corner. And we'll outline practical steps parents can take to give kids a free-range lifestyle--outside and off of electronics--no matter where they live, from a rural homestead to a bustling city.Want to know more about the sustainable, reusable canning lids I mentioned in this episode, and stop worrying about unforeseen shortages that could happen again this summer?
