This new collaborative venture from Free Range Kids author and blogger Lenore Skenazy, research professor Peter Gary and others, supports the idea that children are smart, strong and capable yet they are in danger of not being able to practice problem solving with adults always hovering around solving problems first.  They believe in giving children the freedom and opportunity to take risks, deal with disappointment, figure things out and make their way in the world as all generations before them have done, up until now. Witty, informed, some would say controversial, but always thought provoking content.
