rarely or never walked around their own neighborhood without an adult.

More than 50% had never gone to another aisle at the grocery without an adult.

25% weren't allowed to play on their own front lawn.

So it's like, well, I have a front lawn.

Kids aren't allowed there.

So also there was this really amazing piece done, and I know it's the Daily Mail,

But nonetheless, the Daily Mail did an incredible story several years back, and it was called How Children Lost the Right to Roam in Four Generations.

And it interviewed, it had a map, but it interviewed a great grandpa, 88, what had he done as a kid?

He'd gone six miles in any direction.

And then the grandpa, 66, had gone about a mile to the fishing hole.

And the mother, who was in her 40s,

had walked half a mile to school and her son who was eight was not allowed.

And I can't remember if it's not allowed off his block or not allowed off his yard.

But the the map that showed this just showed really childhood shrinking and free range kids is trying to make it easy, normal and legal to to widen that again, to trust kids with some independence.

And and that's what let grow.

the nonprofit that grew out of Free Range Kids is working on.

It's my favorite topic.

And we don't have 24 hours.

We just have one.

I would say that the change really began in earnest in the 80s and into the 90s.
