  • Description: We’ve heard the stories of parents being arrested for letting their kids go down the street to the park and CPS removing children ages 6 and 10 for playing basketball in their back yard when their parents were gone. Lenore Skenazy says she is here to fight the belief that our children are in constant danger from creeps, kidnapping, germs, grades, flashers, frustration, failure, baby snatchers, bugs, bullies, men, sleepovers and/or the perils of a non-organic grape. It’s the free-range kids vs helicopter parenting discussion.
