A Vicious Cycle.
Bucking the helicopter parenting trend.
Hi everyone!
I hope you enjoyed my essay yesterday with Kate Moreland on friendship. We enjoy hearing your thoughts and comments!
Instead of links this weekend, I wanted to send out this thought-provoking article in the Atlantic by Stephanie Murray in which I got a nice shoutout (Murray interviewed me for the piece). The Atlantic has a paywall, but often you can view your first few articles free.
What are the actual obstacles to creating a culture of safe childhood independence? Read more at the Atlantic at “The Gravitational Pull of Supervising Children All the Time,” and then come back here to answer our poll below!
And if you want to learn more about my experiences as a free-range kid in Paris, check out this piece of mine from last year!
What are your thoughts?
More of my Paris stories are also coming sometime in the next few months at Hearth & Field. And Stephanie has written several really smart articles on parenting, womanhood, children, and other fascinating topics for the Atlantic recently that deserve your attention.
Congrats on the shoutout, Dixie!! That's great :)
Stephanie really has become one of those Writers I Always Read!
