I heard Lenore speak today and was very impressed with her message! Kids need some Free Range!! For well development, children need opportunities to develop self esteem and confidence and parents need to back off and quit trying to control, organize, manage, orchestrate, plan, protect every moment of every day! Lenore has a gifted way to get the message out to all parents and I applaud her efforts! Go Lenore!
