About this organization
Mission
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.
About
Let Grow is leading the movement for childhood independence. We believe today’s kids are smarter and stronger than our culture gives them credit for. We reject the idea that they are in constant physical, emotional or psychological danger from creeps, kidnapping, frustration, failure, baby snatchers, bad grades, disappointing playdates and/or the perils of a non-organic grape. Somehow our culture has become obsessed with kids’ fragility and lost sight of their innate resilience. This concern grew out of good intentions! But treating kids as fragile is making them so. In fact, kids are “anti-fragile” — built not just to withstand some challenges, but to grow stronger once they do. That’s why Let Grow is creating a new path for parents, schools, and America itself. Our programs, outreach, and thought leadership focus not just on explaining where our culture took a wrong turn, but on real-world ways to get our kids back to having some adventures, solving some problems, and blossoming. We are making it easy, normal and legal to give kids the independence they need to grow into capable, confident, and happy adults.
