In this episode, Lenore walks us through why free play is critical for kids and they talk in depth about her organization, "Let Grow." Let Grow asserts that: Kids aren't fragile, they are "anti-fragile" - built not just to withstand some challenges, but to grow stronger once they do. The world is not more dangerous today than in decades past. In fact, America is at a 50-year crime low. Doing a little less for our kids is not negligent or lazy. It is a vote of confidence in them.
