Lenore Skenazy | Future-Proofing and ADDICTION-Proofing our Next Generation

Today's guest wants to "future-proof" our next generation. That is, to tug on the natural tendency of children to explore, learn, and grow competent along the way, just as we, at the Life Process Program want to ADDICTION - PROOF our next generation. 

Her name is Lenore Skenazy. Lenore famously (or infamously, depending on who you ask) allowed her child to ride a New York City subway home on his own. In her mind (and in ours), this was sensible, and offered her child to gain some independence in the real-world. Perversely, many parents around the country were horrified that Lenore would "subject her child to the dangers of New York City". 

Lenore began to realize that adults in the U.S. tend to overprotect their children-- a trend which ultimately stymies their natural course of development-- of exploration.  This forms the basis for her book, "Free Range Kids" and her organization (with Peter Gray and Jonathan Haidt), "Let Grow".  

Today, Zach speaks to Lenore about her work with children and families, and compares notes, as her conceptualization of child-rearing aligns with the LPP framework.
