New Simplicity Parenting Classes

Simplicity Parenting offers a simple, orderly, and effective pathway to simplifying in four realms at home, which reduces stress on children and their care givers, and allows room for connection, creativity, and relaxation.

“Using the extrodinary power of less to raise calmer, happier, and more secure kids.” — KJ Payne

The Four Realms for Simplifying Are:

1. Environment: Uncluttering too much stuff at home.

2. Rhythm: Increasing predictability in a family’s day, week and year.

3. Scheduling: Bringing balance to a child’s life to allow for moments of
“being” into all the “doing.”

4. Filtering Out: Reducing the influence of adult concerns, media and
consumerism on children and families to increase resiliency as well
as social and emotional intelligence.

Why Simplify?

Parents who take steps along this pathway to simplify their homes and their schedules, to introduce more predictable rhythms, and to filter out concerns which children are not yet able to cope with, find that their children:

• Are calmer and happier
• Do better socially and emotionally
• Are more focused at school
• Find it easier to comply with family rules
• Become less picky eaters

These parents also find that they themselves:
• Have a clearer picture of what they value as parents
• Are more united with each other in their parenting
• Have more time and energy for connection, relaxation and fun
