Free Range Spencer

I have been reading this Free Range Kids blog lately http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/ I really want Spencer to be a 'free range kid'. I don't think it will always be easy to balance safety (whether real or perceived) with freedom, but I really believe in the free range kids philosophy.



The author/creator of this blog is Lenore Skenazy, the woman who let her 9-year old son ride the NY subway home from Macy's by himself. She received much attention, mostly negative it seems.



I hope we can give Spencer the opportunity to be 'free range'.

I was a super-free range kid growing up and can't imagine Charlotte not being one.

Why does it seem folks are so ready to pass judgement these days?

Thanks for the link info - I've added it to my favorites.

Sara, I think you're the only one who reads this blog, haha! :-) Anyway, I'm glad I could pass along the Free Range Kids blog, it's a neat little site.
