Wow! Carol Burnett used to CLIMB THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN as a kid!
Free-Range to the max!
Seems to have served her well.
(#LetGrowOrg is bringing childhood independence back!)
Really been enjoying the #AmyPoehler #GoodHang 'cast, and her interview of Carol Burnett is no exception.
And brief but big @FreeRangeKids @LetGrowOrg energy around minute 22!

"When adults intervene unnecessarily in children’s lives—supervising their play, mediating their disputes—they effectively call the rehearsal off, increasing the odds that things will go poorly later on."

IPDC strongly supports the proposal featured in this piece. The proposed legislation would bring important clarity to Indiana’s child-neglect laws and provide parents with real guidance on the independent activities their children may engage in.

An Indiana Mom Left Her Kids Home for an Hour. Her Husband's Ex-Wife Called Child Services.
After being repeatedly the target of such calls, Hannah Bright is advocating for a new law to protect families from weaponized reporting.

PSA from me:
Our kids are not in constant danger from creeps, kidnapping, germs, grades, flashers, frustration, failure, baby snatchers, bugs, bullies, men, sleepovers and/or the perils of a non-organic grape.
So we don't have to parent as if they are.

How come a little bit of independence changes kids SO MUCH?
I'm actually not sure. But it does.
Here's a 3-min video of some middle schoolers talking about it.

"...as independent play disappeared, kids began seeking freedom through activities like video games & social media."
WANT KIDS OFF PHONES?
"You must replace it with something worth doing."
FREE PLAY is the answer.

SHEESH!
"What age are kids allowed off the bus w/out adult waiting there?"
Third Grade and UP got 46%!
Are parents supposed to quit their jobs to stand at the bus stop for years, EVEN WHEN THEY THINK THEIR KIDS CAN GET HOME FINE?
#LetGrowOrg is fighting this safetyism!
#schools
PARENTS OF KIDS WHO TAKE THE SCHOOL BUS:
At what age are they allowed to get off without an adult waiting there?
Who called 911 when grandma fell down the stairs?
This kid.
Age 4.

She Let Her 9-Year-Old Walk Across Central Park without An Adult
(After hearing a speech by me. And some real-world crime stats. And myth-busting. And mental health info.)
Letting go is EASIER THAN YOU THINK.

Here's a song to sing with the whole family:
"JUST GO OUTSIDE"
to "I Will Survive."
May even have the desired effect on kids! (And nervous parents.)

Study finds kids more able to "control oneself, cooperate or help others" after camp. Why? Because kids NEED open-ended swath of time w/ friends to develop social-emotional maturity!

WOW! Study is 10 yrs old but still:
As a 3rd grader, "If you exercise & bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies."

Real Tips from Real Parents on HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS OUTSIDE*
Like: "Purchase a stack of 8-foot 2″x3″ pine boards. Lots of them. I cut some into shorter lengths. My kids use them like life-size Lincoln logs."

Is someone you love terribly worried about child abduction?
These FBI stats on crimes against children may allow them to breathe a little easier. They are surprisingly reassuring, even with the recent uptick in crime:

This AMAZING NYT piece on the "worker productivity score" shows how horrible it is to be under constant surveillance and micromanagment.
ALL THE MORE REASON NOT TO RAISE OUR KIDS THAT WAY!
Give kids some freedom & trust. Let them blossom!
