Free Range Kids is the essential antidote to the anxiety-driven parenting of the last two decades. It’s not just a book; it’s a permission slip to let your kids grow up. Skenazy effectively dismantles the culture of fear that keeps kids tethered to iPads and parents tethered to tracking apps.

In a world where we've optimized every second of a child's life, this book argues for the beauty of the 'un-optimized' afternoon. It’s a high-conviction, evidence-based manual for raising kids who are actually prepared for the real world.
