Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry
Lenore Skenazy - 2009
Parent groups argued about it, bloggers, blogged, spouses became uncivil with each other, and the media jumped all over it.

We parents have to realize that the greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise a child who never encounters choice or independence.
