Send us a textShe’s been in media outlets all over the U.S. championing the ‘free range kids’ movement, and I feel honored to have the opportunity to feature Lenore Skenazy on this episode of the podcast.Lenore shares how she became the standard bearer for this idea of helping parents foster growth in their kids by allowing them to have independent experiences.

I was enlightened and felt empowered after our interview, and I know anyone who listens will be too.Links mentioned in the episode:Let Grow WebsiteLet Grow InstagramLet Grow FacebookThe Anxious Generation by Jonathan HaidtFree to Learn by Peter GrayFollow the podcast on social media:Do Something More InstagramDo Something More FacebookDo Something More YouTube
