"Lenore and I bonded over crows and kids. This book is only about one of those, but it's still great. Hopefully she'll get around to a book on crows someday."
-Dax Shepard, host, Armchair Expert
ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF WORRYING ABOUT...
...Creeps, kidnapping, germs, grades, flashers, frustration, failure, baby snatchers, bugs, bullies, men, sleepovers, and the perils of a non-organic grape?
Lenore is too! When the rollicking and commonsense book first came out, it caused a sensation and started a movement. Parents everywhere learned that it's okay to let their kids learn and explore for themselves.
In this update, the author tackles a pervasive culture of fear that's only gotten worse over time and with new and compelling research, stats, and real-world stories that will have you breathing a sigh of relief and laughing out loud. (But not at the same time¯that's a choking hazard!) There's even a special chapter for educators trying to survive in a world full of helicopter parents.
"A bubbly but potent corrective for the irrational fears that drive so many parents crazy."
-Dr. Robert Needleman, co-author, Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care, Ninth Edition
"Weirdly, I love this book! To begin with, it's laugh-out-loud funny. Plus, Lenore and I share a big belief: Kids can do so much more than our fearful culture thinks they can."
-Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor, author, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Political Tribes
