Let Grow promotes independence as a critical part of growing up. We believe in kids. We believe they are smart, strong and at least as capable as their parents were at their age. But society insists on bubble-wrapping them. We are encouraged to protect them from even the slightest physical or mental discomfort. We don't trust them to do anything on their own. Treating today’s kids as physically and emotionally fragile is bad for their future, and our country's. With an unpredictable and rapidly changing economy ahead, kids need to be flexible, creative problem-solvers. They can’t solve their problems if adults are always right there, solving them first. Let Grow is creating a new path for parents, schools, and America itself -- a path back to letting kids develop more independence.
