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.

The teen years are filled with social challenges in school, sports, and beyond, where teasing, bullying, and exclusion are prevalent. Social media has intensified these issues, making them more subtle and pervasive. However, when young people learn to respond effectively, manage their emotions, and recognize their self-worth, they can reclaim their power and develop lifelong skills. An education consultant and parenting expert provides guidance alongside ten inspiring stories from young adults who have successfully navigated bullying and social exclusion. This resource empowers teens to address problems themselves, fostering mastery over situations instead of relying on parents to intervene. It equips parents, teens, and educators with vital anti-bullying strategies, including understanding the reasons behind teasing, handling rumors, managing physical bullying, overcoming feelings of isolation, cultivating an empowered mindset, and standing up for others without jeopardizing themselves. The author emphasizes that while one cannot control external circumstances, they can control their response. This book helps kids realize that while they may not stop a bully, they can assert themselves and regain their power, influencing the situation rather than feeling helpless. Essential reading for anyone involved with teens, it encourages them to find their voice, problem-solve, and navigate challenging social landscapes.

"A practical, meditative approach that can be used in the moment to help you stay calm and balanced when your child's behavior is pushing you to your limit--by the popular author of Simplicity Parenting. In difficult and challenging situations with our kids, every parent wants to react as much as possible in a way that reflects our family values and expectations. And yet when our children "push our buttons," we often find ourselves reacting in ways that we know are far from our principles, and even seem to further inflame a situation. Most distressing of all is when we feel ourselves falling into these predictable relationship patterns as they begin to happen. It gives us the sinking feeling of, "Oh no, here we go again." We know that when our children are at their worst, they need us to be at our best--or as close to it as we can get at the time. But how can we move from a "stress regress" to speaking in a voice that is warm, calm, and firm? Educator Kim John Payne offers techniques that simply but very directly shift these damaging patterns of communication and parental behavior. It is a grounded and practical tool that he has taught to numerous parents worldwide to: * Slow down the interaction * Give them a greater feeling of inner spaciousness * Be more in control of their reactions and the situation * Sense what their child's deeper needs are even though they are misbehaving * Respond in a way that gives the child a feeling of being heard and yet puts a boundary in place Being at Your Best When Your Kids Are at Their Worst is a technique that you can use in the moment to reframe the situation and help you respond effectively, appropriately, and with kindness"-- Provided by publisher
