Create space for calmer, more creative kids and restore order and
happiness at the heart of family life.
In Simple Happy Parenting, Denaye Barahona, Ph.D., provides a
revolutionary approach to parenting, full of practical tips to help you
step back from the system overload so common in modern family life and,
instead, create more time to enjoy living and learning together.
From easier meal planning to mindful shopping, worry batching to waste
reduction, Simple Happy Parenting is an honest and practical roadmap
for all families striving for balance.
Start with the Simple Manifesto:
- Buy less.
- Fear less.
- Referee less.
- Hurry less.
- Entertain less.
Then begin your journey to simple by embracing a new, lighter way of
life in your home. Step-by-step projects and realistic goals guide
your way. Discover how a curated toy cabinet fosters imaginative play; a
smaller, carefully selected wardrobe reduces stress; and structured,
nourishing meals create relaxed family dinners.
Next, expand the simplicity to your mindset. Learn how letting go of
fear provides children with valuable opportunities to grow and develop;
positive discipline strategies strengthen family relationships; and
inviting more unscheduled time in your calendar gives your family space
to thrive.
Not only will these straightforward solutions allow your children the
room to progress and flourish, this mindful approach to family life will
provide you with more energy, calm, and joy.
