Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids

Ticked all the boxes. This book is a must read for all parents living this fast paced over stimulating life. Great book and delivery was exceptional

Essential book for parenting in a calmer and more peaceful way. The author lays out a three fold strategy to simplify our children’s lives ( and ours too in the process) to reduce the overwhelm of todays’s fast Paced and choice laden world. By simplifying the environment, setting a regular rythm and well balanced schedules, the child can attain a higher sense of inner security, calm and freedom. The writing alternates between the theory/logic and the real life example, with a step by step structured approach, which makes it easy to refer to again later on. I would suggest this book for parents with children of any age ( the earlier the better I guess).

Very nice book

This was exactly the type of book I was looking for when I started my search. it was written in plain english (no big doctor words or studies to try and understand) has plenty of examples of how and why this works. Teaches us how to start simplifying a cluttered house in steps so that we, as parents, can better assist our children by providing them with quality over quantity and a heavy does of our own time and respect. I would put it in my basket of books that every parent should read!

Although the book could definitely be shorter because everything revolves around one idea it provides insights in some aspects of everyday life that are quite interesting. I have quite liked the author's analysis of sports and martial arts versus free play and a little section where he talks about the transitions between activities and how to handle them, which always turn out to be the most complicated. It's an easy reading anwyway. It hasn't taken much of my time and I have got some interesting ideas from it.
