Sie versuchen unsere Kinder davon zu überzeugen ihre Produkte zu kaufen, um auf eine bestimmte Weise cool und beliebt zu sein. Den Kindern ein starkes Gefühl für moralische gesteuerte Entscheidungen zu geben, statt der Konstruierten Populärkultur zu folgen, ist ein wertvolles Geschenk ethischen Urteilsvermögens das wir als Eltern machen können.

Genau die Art Erziehungsstil die ich mag! Der Autor hat im Buch alles sehr gut erklärt wie man das Leben seines Kindes und sein eigenes vereinfachen kann. Waren sehr interessante Sachen drin ich nicht gewusst habe. 

Alles in einem kinder brauchen echt nicht viel!

Most of this felt like basic common sense, but I’m a minimalist by nature. If you’re interested in minimalism as it applies to parenting, that’s basically what this is. Not a fan of the writing style - too wordy and felt unnecessarily long.

Agreed with the premise of this, and it took some of my parenting practices to a deeper level. Will probably re-read. Some repetitiveness if you are familiar with Montessori or Waldorf methods. My criticism is that I wish there were more scientific fact or research in this...it was largely based on the author's experiences and opinions.

If you asked me how I felt about this book overall, I would say I loved it and it’s principles and tangible practices are ones I will surely implant into my life as a mom. Definitely will fall into one of my fav parenting books and very eye opening in many ways. However, like all books of this nature, you have to read it with a grain of salt. There were many things I didn’t agree with and many more that I did. I loved the practicality of it and the overall message of “simplifying.” This will definitely shape our house moving forward! It was very long winded though, I had to skim a lot.

Today’s busier, faster society is waging an undeclared war on childhood. With too much stuff, too many choices, and too little time, children can become anxious, have trouble with friends and school, or even be diagnosed with behavioral problems. Now internationally renowned family consultant Kim John Payne helps parents reclaim for their children the space and freedom that all kids need for their attention to deepen and their individuality to flourish. Simplicity Parenting offers inspiration, ideas, and a blueprint for change: • Streamline your home environment. Reduce the amount of toys, books, and clutter—as well as the lights, sounds, and general sensory overload. • Establish rhythms and rituals. Discover ways to ease daily tensions, create battle-free mealtimes and bedtimes, and tell if your child is overwhelmed. • Schedule a break in the schedule. Establish intervals of calm and connection in your child’s daily torrent of constant doing. • Scale back on media and parental involvement. Manage your children’s “screen time” to limit the endless deluge of information and stimulation. A manifesto for protecting the grace of childhood, Simplicity Parenting is an eloquent guide to bringing new rhythms to bear on the lifelong art of raising children.
