    The Power of Independent Play

    CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 166 How do you encourage your kids to be more independent? When do you as a parent step back to give them the space to step up? Lenore Skenazy joins Janine today to discuss some of these questions. They discuss:  The importance of play and how it relieves stress Bodily reaction to fear and avoidance to fear Playing across mixed age groups The skills you learn when you play  The Let Grow Program Setting tasks for your kids to do on their own without a parent there  Passive kids and problem solving  Kids having the concierge life How Lenore likes to rest and relax  About The Guest -  Lenore Skenazy After her newspaper column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” created a media firestorm, Lenore got the nickname “America’s Worst Mom.” (Google it!) She went on to write Free-Range Kids, the book-turned-movement that says our kids are smarter, safer, and stronger than our culture gives them credit for!  Lenore has lectured everywhere from DreamWorks to Microsoft to Harvard Med School, Yale Child Study Center -- and the Bulgarian Happiness Festival! (For real.) On TV, you may have seen her on The Today Show, The Daily Show or her own reality show, World’s Worst Mom.  In 2017 Lenore co-founded Let Grow, the nonprofit promoting childhood independence, with three others, including Jonathan “The Anxious Generation” Haidt. She is its president.  Lenore lives in New York City with her husband and beloved computer. Her children are gainfully employed. (Phew!) And, for the record, she used to write for Mad Magazine. Yep. MAD. But now she's so serious that here is her piece on "Independence as Therapy" in The New York Times.  Website - https://letgrow.org/ For parents: https://letgrow.org/program/parents-and-families/ For schools/teachers/admins/counselors: https://letgrow.org/program/educators/ For therapists: https://letgrow.org/program/independence-therapy/ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/759938234394061 About The Host - Janine Halloran Janine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.
