Lenore Skenazy on Free Range Kids

Published: April 20, 2016, 12:19 a.m.

Lenore Skenazy is a blogger, columnist, author and reality show host who made national headlines in 2008 when she let her 9­year-old son ride the New York City subway alone, which earned her the nickname of "America's Worst Mom." In response, Lenore founded the book, blog, and movement "Free-Range Kids." She has appeared on “The Daily Show” and hosted the Discovery TV show “World’s Worst Mom” where she intervened in the lives of “bubble­wrapped kids” and their overprotective parents. Lenore is in the Northwest to speak tonight at Town Hall Seattle, presented by ParentMap, as part of the 2016 ParentMap Lecture Series. Info at ParentMap.com
