Lenore Skenazy thinks America is creating whole generations of dependent, frightened children who will never be ablel to make it in the world.

Overly-dependent "helicopter parents" hover over their kids' every move, stifling their inate curiousity and desire to explore their world.  The result, says author and "World's Worst Mom." Skenazy, are thousands of kids unable to fend more themselves or perform simple tasks such as using a knife to cut an apple or take public transportation.

Sometimes controversial, always interesting, Lenore Skenazy is author of "Free Range Kids," and a vocal advocate for allowing children to discover the world for themselves and grow into mature, confidant adults.
