Simplicity Parenting Kim John Payne

At last a parenting book that didn't add anything more to our already overloaded busy lives as parents. In fact it is a book that actively encourages downsizing the parenting workload...reducing clutter, toys, activities, screentime, so that family life can happen in a simple, simple simple way. Without realising it we had become bombarded with scheduling playdates, afterschool activites, watching DVD's, aquiring and building mountains of toys, falling into the trap of having the latest, the greatest, and WOOOSH like a breathe of pure mountain air this book came into our lives - it really was the answer to a prayer that I didn't know I'd made for a more simple life as a mum.
