Free Range Kids

Yes, those are my kids running through the forest with BB Guns. I wrote my column Loosening reins can be invigorating for kids and mom about my attempt to raise "free range kids." Check it out.


As an aside, I'll say that sometimes free range kids get poison ivy on their face. Oh, and even if they aren't scared to hike down a waterfall and 1/2 mile back to camp alone, they may still be scared of the zombies that apparently live in the dark corners of our house.
