#77 - Lenore Skenazy: Raising Resilient Kids in a Culture of Fear

In this thought-provoking episode of Nothing Left Unsaid, Tim Green and his son Troy sit down with journalist and author Lenore Skenazy, famously dubbed “America’s Worst Mom” after letting her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway alone. From that moment came a movement, Free-Range Kids and the nonprofit Let Grow, challenging a culture of fear that tells parents constant supervision is the only path to safety. Lenore shares how overprotection and “worst-first thinking” are fueling anxiety in both parents and children, while true resilience is built through independence, problem-solving, and trust. With humor, statistics, and stories from her years as a reporter and advocate, she reveals why kids are far safer than we think and how giving them freedom is one of the greatest gifts we can offer. This conversation blends cultural critique with practical wisdom, offering a hopeful blueprint for raising confident, capable kids in an age of anxiety, true to the mission of Nothing Left Unsaid.
