EGAD!
When I was a kid, 'University Hospital' didn't even allow kids in to visit.
Dad/Mum would go into the building and we'd be left on our own to play around the gates/greenery area for the time the adults were away. I would have been 5.

Best Thing I've Seen Today: Lenore Skenazy, who was a frequent guest on my radio show, gave a TED Talk about why you should spend less time with your kids. You can watch it here: harrisonline.com/spend-less-t... #letgrow #freerangekids
Older elementary kids need the skills to become #freerangekids. And practice taking the lead in challenging and unpredictable settings...like rush hour.
It's scary, but not as scary as the crippling anxiety kids seem to take into adulthood when they grow up without agency & real-world exposure.
This is the future I want for Boston but we're gonna need more bike parking #CarLiteBoston #FreeRangeKids
A tween in a white dress shirt and an orange helmet rides a red Tern ebike on a bike path through hilly terrain. In the distance are redwood trees and a big blue sky.

Over the summer, my tween transported himself to and from theater camp.
9 miles each way, up and over a mountain.
Enjoying the freedom that with previous generations used to require a car.

Weather has held so we’ve got our wellies on and now just meandering through the forest and enjoying not knowing where we’re going. #freeRangeKids
They’re loud af & the neighbours are probably annoyed, but the sound of 4 teenagers horsing around in the backyard, laughing, is the moment of joy I needed today. #freerangekids

My oldest kid takes @wmata.com home most days but apparently aftercare doesn't honor "permission to self dismiss" form that school uses.
When will we reorganize around the idea that it's good for kids to... do stuff?? It is safer Out There than on youtube, I promise #freerangekids #letgrow

A librarian's take on Australia's social media restrictions. 📚 Teaching digital literacy and safety is akin to teaching your child how to maneuver in the world safely ... don't just say they can never play outside alone. #FreeRangeKids

Not that I disagree with the value of rites of passage, but this is the most “Reasony” click bait headline that I’ve seen. #freerangekids

What is recovery anyway, but the past failing to persist?
No, not really, but I feel like I learned of SCA from the RuneQuest rule book I acquired in 7th grade or maybe just hanging around the gaming store I used to bike 6 miles to get to. #freeRangeKids
