MM 169: Raising Free-Range Kids - www.ManicMommies.com - (508) 644-8434
Would you let your child take the subway alone? How about wait for the bus, walk to a neighbor or ride around the 'hood on his or her bicycle? As parents of growing boys, the Manic Mommies are trying to figure when, and how, to let our kids explore their independence. Which is why we were so excited to welcome Lenore Skenazy, author of "Free-Range Kids", who was vilified in the press for allowing her 9-year old son to ride the subway by himself. We discuss how to raise a free-range kid, and why parents today are so scared of letting go.
