Lenore Skenazy, Who Has Been Called America’s Worst Mom Talks About Her New Book How to Raise Free Range Kids

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened with Lenore Skenazy, sometimes called America’s Worst Mom because she had the nerve to let her 9 year old ride the subway in NY alone. And if having a kid riding a subway alone wasn’t enough she has even tried to get kids to play on playgrounds without their parents around. Can you imagine that? Lenore has written the book Free Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts With Worry) which talks about giving your kid a little more freedom to play and explore outside on their own. Lenore’s book is a common sense guide to parenting in these uncommonly overprotective times. She says we have forgotten what kids are capable of, and don’t realize that the crime rate is down from when most parents were kids. She is on a mission to get kids outside – exploring and entertaining themselves in a safe manner. This is a must have book for today’s over protective parents – check it out at www.freerangekids.com

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy talk to Steve Below, author of Pigskin Dreams: Living A Hall of Fame Life. Steve interviewed dozens of NFL Hall of Fame football players (like: Larry Csonka, Howie Long Long, Mike Singletary and Dick Butkus) to understand what made them succeed. Three of the key findings for success were: strong maternal influence; importance of play in order to explore the world and they each had a difference maker or mentor who influenced them dramatically. The lessons (think, say, do, be) are extremely valuable. Here are some of the Top 10 things every parent needs to know about kids and sports: 1-let the kids have fun 2- parents are the real head coaches 3-don’t live vicariously through your kids and 4-let your kids make their own decisions about the sports they play. To learn the rest of the list and to get more information about this great gift for the football fan in your house please go to www.pigskindreams.com
