Scenario

When your parenting philosophy conflicts with community norms

I believe in free-range parenting and letting kids take risks, but after my neighbor's child was hurt at the playground everyone looks at me like I'm negligent when I don't hover over my seven-year-old.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Individual convictions about healthy childhood clash with collective anxiety and judgment.
