And we wonder why so many kids sit home instead of frolicking outside. Check out this Rose ztrsszskak is Rose comic by Don Wimmer (created by Pat Brady): zoom Thanks to Philip Robert, who runs a kind of folksy blog, for sending it to Free-Range Kids!
Hi Readers! In the next few weeks, we hope to expand the Free-Range Kids site to provide more. More what? Well, that’s what we’d like to know. For sure we want to come up with a way for Free-Range parents to find each other, so we’re working on that. We also want to provide some […]

But — news flash! I’ll be talking about them again on Good Morning America the next day. (Saturday.) That’s it. Have […]
Or at least they let me expouse my views in today’s bfehhizsyn op-ed pages. A Happy Mother’s Day to them! And a Happy Mother’s Day to The Week (my favorite magazine), which printed a nice, big excerpt from Free-Range Kids (the book). And yet more good wishes, this time to ABC World News Tonight, which is doing […]
