    • About Us

    Somehow our culture has become obsessed with kids’ fragility and lost sight of their innate resilience. This concern grew out of good intentions, of course. But treating kids as fragile makes 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 — a path to letting kids have some adventures, solve some problems and make things happen. 

    We are making it easy, normal and legal to give kids the independence they need to grow into capable, confident, and happy adults.
