Event Details

Join us this Saturday February 20, 2010 at the Emerson Waldorf Nursery from 9am-10am for an informal and reflective discussion on Kim John Payne's very successful book, Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids.

 

Simplicity Parenting provides an accessible, do-able set of simple changes in a family’s way of life that can bring relief to stressed children and parents.

These changes occur through…
Simplifying Environments: Reducing the amount of toys, books and clothes.
Rhythm: Bringing more rhythm and predictability into a family’s day, week, and year.
Balance: In a child’s life between down time, creative time and busy time and schedules.
Decision Making: Guiding parents into examining the trend to allow children to make too many
decisions, too young.
Filtering-out: making sure our children are exposed to what is true, kind and necessary for their
developmental stage. Bringing consciousness to a child’s exposure to adult conversation.
Media Influence: Finding ways to significantly reduce screen time.

When parents are supported in integrating Simplicity Parenting practices and strategies into their family livesthere are such positive outcomes.

Calm: Children more ready and able to learn.
Resiliency: Children can be far less reactive and provocative.
Priorities: Parents have a new sense of priorities.
Teachability: The child can now more readily absorb the richness of the curriculum.
Support: Parents have a stronger feeling of community.
Parent Enrichment: The role of the early childhood and class teachers in educating parents in best
practices is supported and simplified.
