Unplugged: Raising Kids in a Digital World

Join Lenore Skenazy, co-founder of Let Grow with Jonathan Haidt and author of Free-Range Kids has been leading the movement to restore childhood independence for 17 years. She’ll deliver a hilarious presentation about how childhood changed and why the “Fourth Norm” in The Anxious Generation is to “open the door.” These events are intentionally not recorded. Unplugged is designed to be experienced in community, through in-person conversation, reflection, and connection.

Through humor and insight, Lenore reveals how much parenting has changed in just one generation, and how overprotection is impacting kids’ confidence, resilience, and mental health. Her message is equal parts laughter and liberation: by giving kids more independence, we give them back their childhood.

Audiences across the country, from Disney and Microsoft to Harvard Medical School, praise her unforgettable talks for being as life-changing as they are entertaining. Expect to leave inspired, re-energized, and ready to let your kids grow!
