I'm thrilled to share an insightful interview with Lenore Skenazy, originally conducted for the 2023 Safe Parenting Summit. Lenore, the author of *Free Range Kids* and founder of the Let Grow Foundation, discusses the importance of fostering children's independence.

Last week, I talked about helping kids grow their confidence and competence. Reflecting on a recent airport incident where my daughter wasn't allowed to fly alone, I thought of this conversation. Lenore and I explore why we should stop fear-based parenting and allow our children to develop resilience and problem-solving skills.
