Simplicity Parenting: Using the power of less to raise happy, secure children

This book is a wake-call for all of us who have misjudged what children need and can handle, and who have wandered so far from the best practices that we are raising neurologically damaged and emotionally stunted human beings as a result.
Steve Biddulph, author of The Secret of Happy Children

Simplicity Parenting is a new and revised UK edition of the popular US #1 bestseller by Kim John Payne, providing tried, tested and doable answers to:

The rapid increase in anxiety and nervousness in childhood
How to keep connected to family values in a time where screens are causing family disconnection
Creating a safe base of calm at home to counterbalance the overwhelm of life outside the house
The ever increasing need for balance in family life

This is a title for parents who want to slow down, but who don’t know how; for families with too much stuff, too many choices and too much information. Here are four simple steps for decluttering, quieting, and soothing family dynamics so that children can thrive at school, get along with peers, and nurture well-being. Using the extraordinary power of less, Kim John Payne, one of the world’s leading Steiner-Waldorf educators, offers novel ways to help children feel calmer, happier, and more secure.

One of Book Riot’s must-read parenting books for all parents.
