Tips in this book used to be common sense
A book that needed to be written. Funny and insightfull. The going free range tips and baby steps at the end of each chapter are silly and trite but designed with good intentions. A good critique of the hover parent style of many parents we've all expernced. The basic point of the book is parents relax,your kids are going to be ok. Let them ake risks, play, explore the world on their own terms and not worry so much about their standardize test scores, college choices, or organized sports. Just let them be kids.

Great Parenting Advice
I came to this book without knowing not only that there was someone who had let her nine-year-old ride the New York subway by himself, but also that that someone was the author of this book. So, I was unfamiliar with the author's blog and her other journalism. I think her humor, while often funny, probably works better in those shorter forms that in this longer piece. There are a few chapters late in the book where I felt she was stretching her point a bit. Still, I really enjoyed this book. It offers some refreshing perspective and a call for more perspective in parenting. I think this is a valuable message for those who are open to receiving it, as I was. I tend to be anxious (it is difficult not to be given what is reported in the news), but I also very much want to raise children who are confident and not themselves anxious. This book presents some facts and thoughts that I hope will assist me is better assessing what's really a risk to my children, and in so doing, help me let them go so they both fail on their own, and succeed on their own.
