Is Eliminating Risk Dangerous?
My first guest is Philip Howard, head of the public interest group The Common Good (commongood.org), who argues that we have become a society obsessed with eliminating risk, especially when it comes to our kids and safety, and that this approach is nothing short of dangerous. He offers some interesting strategies for changing that thinking and you’ll want to get his insights on how we might be putting our kids at risk our by keeping them “safe!”
Next, we meet Matthew Locricchio, author of The 2nd International Cookbook for Kids, a fun cook book that draws kids into cooking on their own — and for the family! As a single mom to four kids who think a regular diet of chicken nuggets would be just fine, I love his ideas and have started to implement them in my home.
