Simplicity parenting

Kim John Payne (Author), Lisa M. Ross (Author), Ballantine Books (Firm) (Publisher)
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, and even be diagnosed with behavioral problems. The author helps parents reclaim for their children the space and freedom kids need, offering a blueprint for change: streamline your home environment, establish rhythms and rituals, include a break in the schedule, scale back on media and parental involvement, and cultivate a values-centric family culture instead of a child-centric one
