Take Just #1StepBack and Let Your Kids Step Up

Kids are safe.

The news stories are alarming and overwhelming! But the statistics are incredibly reassuring. Our kids are safer from

• child abduction

• car vs pedestrian accidents

• bicycle riding deaths

• violent crime is less than when most parents were kids

As a matter of fact, there has never been a safer time to be a kid in America. And we know that kids learn the most when they get to try. Try walking to a friends house, asking for something in a store, facing decisions, solving problems. Right? So, it's time to

take one step back.

Kids are more than ready to step up and amaze us.

In the comments, will you leave a story of a time you let a child do something without supervision?
