A Parent and Public Education Evening with Lenore Skenazy, syndicated columnist and author of "Free-Range Kids"
Skenazy says our generation of parents is constantly being told that our kids are in danger from EVERYTHING: predators, plastic, germs, cribs, bullies, cyber-creeps, sleepovers and non-organic grapes. As a result, we keep our children on a very short leash - sometimes literally. But in truth, our kids are safer and more competent than pop culture says they are, and once we realize that, we can give them the kind of “Free-Range” childhood most of us enjoyed.
