Free-Range Kids, How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry)
FREE RANGE KIDS has become a national movement, sparked by the incredible response to Lenore Skenazy?s piece about allowing her 9-year-old ride the subway alone in NYC. Parent groups argued about it, bloggers, blogged, spouses became uncivil with each other, and the media jumped all over it. A lot of parents today, Skenazy says, see no difference between letting their kids walk to school and letting them walk through a firing range. Any risk is seen as too much risk. But if you try to prevent every possible danger or difficult in your child?s everyday life, that child never gets a chance to grow up. We parents have to realize that the greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise a child who never encounters choice or independence.

Red, White & Latina
The Emmy-winning TV judge and host of Cristina’s Court delivers her no-nonsense verdict on what it means to be an American in today’s divisive climate. The diversity that America was founded on is being turned on itself. Instead of celebrating our differences, we’re using them as lines of attack. America is splitting along political, gender, color and cultural lines, battling over issues like racism, immigration, law enforcement, and even patriotism itself. If we allow these culture wars rage on, what type of American identity will we leave for the next generation? In Red, White, and Latina, television judge and proud American Latina, Cristina Pérez dissects these issues and proposes a new unified outlook for America based on common sense, common values, and common ground. She delivers a no-holds-barred and non-biased look inside the most heated conversations in America today, examining the headlines, evidence, and hearsay, before delivering her verdict for each one.
