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] Lenore Skenazy, 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]
