In Season 2, Episode 12 of Play it Forward, Lukas chats to “America’s Worst Mom” Lenore Skenazy. Lenore is a mother from Queens who caught the public eye after letting her 9-year-old son catch the subway, alone. She founded a book and blog called “Free-range kids” and co-founded Let Grow school programs and parent empowerment, in her quest to give kids back some old-fashioned independence.

In this high-energy episode Lukas and Lenore talk about overcoming fears and cultivating courage in parents, common myths about what children are experiencing, giving kids agency and freedom, plus a whole bunch more.
