About Free-Range Kids

In our efforts to protect our children, we have gotten to the point where we risk stifling them. We have gone to the extreme where children can't even walk to the school bus, or wander out of sight of their houses.

This group is meant to celebrate the freedom that children need to grow into competent adults, able to fend for themselves and get along in the world. In the words of Lenore Skenazy, author of the book Free-Range Kids:

Adults knew [in the past] what we have forgotten today. Kids are competent. Kids are capable. Kids deserve freedom, responsibility, and a chance to be part of this world, not cooped up like, well... chickens.
In our enlightenment, we have finally returned some lucky, clucking, real, live chickens the old-fashioned, God-given freedom to range. Our children deserve no less.

Please add your pictures of children enjoying life, being free, and experiencing the world.
