Empowering, Not Overprotecting: Building Independence & Raising Resilient Kids with Lenore Skenazy
Join Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts With Worry), for an eye-opening seminar on parenting in today’s high-anxiety world. If you've ever wondered how we went from riding bikes until dark to rarely letting our kids out of sight, this session will explain the cultural shift—and its impact on children’s independence, resilience, and mental well-being. Through humor and real-world insights, Lenore explores how increased supervision may contribute to rising anxiety and how parents can counteract the fear-based messages all around us. You’ll leave feeling empowered with new confidence in your kids, ready to embrace a parenting approach that builds their self-reliance.
