It's heartening that the book mentioned in the story, "Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry," has 5 stars from 61 reviews at Amazon. From what I've seen, it's incredibly hard for a book on any topic to get 5 stars from a statistically significant number of reviews. Hopefully this portends that many feel the same way. Now if I could just get my wife to discuss child raising without her getting defensive. (She went through a bitter custody battle with her first husband who continually accused her in court of being a bad mother. And hey, I'm not perfect, I could probably approach things better with her.)
