"FREE RANGE KIDS" has become a national movement, sparked by
the incredible response to Lenore Skenazy''s piece about allowing
her 9-year-old ride the subway alone in NYC. Parent groups argued
about it, bloggers blogged and the media jumped all over it. This
book debunks dangerous myths and advocates rational care for safe
and independent kids, using the Range Parenting Commandments,
including: Know When to Worry And Not -- Playdates and Axe
Murders: How to Tell the Difference Never Listen to Experts -- Who
Says You Are Doing Everything Wrong. Them. Who knows less than you
do about you and your kids. Them Eat Chocolate -- Give Halloween
Back to the Trick or Treaters. There''s never been a single case of
a razor blade in an Apple in history. Never. Turn off the 24 Hour
NewsTURN OFF THE 24 HOUR NEWS -- Go Easy on "Law and Order" too.
The inflammatory hysteria will make you crazy. Stop Thinking Like a
Lawyer -- Some aspects of normal life will not lead to litigation.
Study History -- Your 10-year-old Would Have Been Forging Horse
Shoes or at least delivering papers Fail-- It''s the New Succeed.
How else are you going to learn. Listen to Your Kids -- They''re
sick of Being Babied except the actual babies, of course Listen
to Your Parents -- They raised you, right? And you''re still alive.
Relax-- Not every little thing you do impacts your child''s
development, unless you smother or inspire rebellion A lot of
parents today, Skenazy says, see no difference between letting
their kids walk to school and letting them walk through a firing
range. Any risk is seen as too much risk. But if you try to prevent
every possible danger or difficult in your child''s everyday life,
that child never gets a chance to grow up. We parents have to
realize that the greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise
a child who never encounters choice or independence. This book
strikes a happy balance for safe and self-reliant kids who must
ultimately live without us.
