Description

{As our lives have become a rush from one activity to another, it often feels that things are out of control. Our children feel the pressure and suffer--they tantrum, they have trouble making friends, they start slipping at school. As the architects of a family's life, parents have the power to slow things down--literally and figuratively--but they don't know where to start! Simplicity Parenting is a powerfully elegant guide to reclaiming a healthy pace and simpler systems for family life. In defense of the extraordinary and overlooked power of less, world-renowned educator and counselor Kim John Payne outlines four novel steps toward this end. From ideas for slightly modifying space in the home (no architects or designers necessary!) to increasing the predictability of the rhythm of daily life, from rethinking schedules and easing transitions to scaling back on the information that flows into the home, Payne's easy-to-implement advice will help children feel calmer, happier, and more secure.}
