Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A Maryland family recently caught the attention of authorities when they allowed their children to walk freely through their Silver Spring neighborhood without parental supervision. The incident triggered a conversation about responsible parenting — and the degree to which children need to learn self-reliance by spending unsupervised time away from their parents. Kojo explores the conflict between the “helicopter” and “free-range” schools of parenting.
