Thanks to John Stossel, here is a half hour of me getting the chance to make all the points swirling around in my head and heart:
- How we got so afraid for our kids.
- What it’s doing to them — and us.
- How these misconceptions about kids, crime, and child development feed into crazy norms and even crazier laws.
- AND the ways we can beat back the culture of fear and distrust (which is what it all boils down to).
You’ll hear many shout-outs to Let Grow, the nonprofit that grew out of Free-Range Kids, and the work we’re doing to make childhood independence easy, normal and legal again! And of course, you can always watch at double speed! – L.
