An Evening with Lenore Skenazy - "America's Worst Mom"

Co-sponsored by Lexington Community Education and The Waldorf School of Lexington: Too Safe to Succeed: An Evening with Lenore Skenazy

Lenore Skenazy, sometimes called “America’s Worst Mom” is a lot of things — author, humorist, keynote speaker, popular blogger, TV host, and a thought leader on issues ranging from parenting, to policy, to consumer insights. The New York City columnist-turned-reality TV show host was labeled “America’s Worst mom” after letting her 9-year old son take the subway, alone. In response to the enormous media blowback, she wrote the book and blog, “Free-Range Kids,” which launched the anti-helicopter parenting movement. Now, Lenore Skenazy is the media’s “go-to” expert on parenting culture. Her belief that we are making our kids “too safe to succeed” has led to speaking engagements around the world.

This evening is co-sponsored by Lexington Community Education and The Waldorf School of Lexington and will be held on Tuesday, October 6th from 7:00-8:30pm at the Waldorf School, 739 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington. The cost is $10.00.

Pre-registration strongly recommended. To register, using a VISA or MasterCard, please contact Lexington Community Education at 781 862 8043.
