World's Worst Mom is a Cineflix produced series that aired on Slice TV and syndicated by TLC International. Based in Toronto, the show features extremely over-protective parents and their families.[1] Jeanette Sharp, columnist and advocate for the Free Range Kids movement, works with parents to help them step outside their boundaries and conquer their fears.[1] In the long run, host Lenore teaches parents how to loosen the reins and give their kids the freedom they need to grow up with independence while still keeping safety as a main priority. World's Worst Mom was originally known by the name Bubble Wrap Kids when it aired locally on Slice in Canada. The series was cancelled after one season.[2]

Host[edit]

World's Worst Mom is hosted by columnist and Free Range Kids advocate, Lenore Skenazy. She was nicknamed "World's Worst Mom" by the media for letting her nine-year-old son ride the New York Subway alone.[3] She uses her knowledge as a parent to help parents give their children some independence to allow them to learn and grow as a person.[3]
