The Waldorf School of Lexington and Lexington Community Education welcome author, humorist, keynote speaker, popular blogger, and TV host Lenore Skenazy as she presents her thoughts on why our children might just be too safe to succeed.

Lenore’s presentation has been characterized as “laugh-till-it-hurts hilarious straight talk about all the fears that have parents so scared” — and she reminds audiences that our kids are much more capable than they are often given credit for.

Lenore explains why parents are consumed with worry and offers advice and practical strategies to help us “lean out” (of our children’s lives) and let go just a little.

Lenore tries to help parents be realistic about risks and understand that children need freedom to grow into happy, healthy adults.

“Kids who play without supervision get all kinds of skills that you will wish your kid had,” she says.

Come hear Lenore speak at what will surely be a sold-out presentation.

Lenore Skenazy is the author of Free-Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry) and the creator of freerangekids.com.

She also has her own reality TV show, 'World's Worst Mom,' in which she helps parents who are 'too terrified to let their kids go.'
