Lenore Skenazy, the pioneer of the 'free-range' parenting movement, warned overprotective parenting practices could be causing children extra anxiety.
Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow and author of 'Free-Range Kids' told Fox News Digital why she believes more independence is the key to helping kids overcome anxiety.
"Children's anxiety and depression have been going up, but they've been going up in parallel with something else, which is a lack of independence as kids' lives have become more adult-run, adult-structured," Lenore Skenazy, the New York mom who pioneered the"Free-Range Kids" movement, told Fox News Digital.
Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy sounded the alarm on the youth mental health crisis earlier this year, paying careful attention to upticks in anxiety, depression and loneliness hampering America's kids in the post-COVID world. Though he cited social media as a primary factor, Skenazy said more attention should be directed to the loss of childhood independence and experiences that allow kids to grow.
