This is my new favorite book! Rarely do I read a parenting book (or any book) that is so enjoyable to read yet gives me such great advice. I’ve already started implementing changes in my household and I’ve found that my kids, and I, are much calmer and happier. Any parent should definitely read this book, it’s the best one I’ve come across in a long time.

Kim John Payne has written a compelling, true book about what is wrong with childhood in America. The United States consumes 80 percent of the worlds Ritalin which is so alarming.
Yet, although he makes an excellent case for the poor job we are doing to preserve childhood, he also gives inspiration for parents who want to parent differently. In order to give our children what they need, it will require swimming against the tide of popular culture, but arent our children worth the effort? Kudos to Mr. Payne and this excellent book!

Easy ideas that make sense. The best parenting book I have ever come across. Kim John Payne’s simple, compassionate, easy to understand (and implement) ideas will change your life. Learn how to slow down, Take back some dearly needed adult time, and truly connect with your child. I can’t recommend this book and its ideas enough. I have a lot of parenting books, a lot of very good ones. This book distills all the good ideas I have liked in other similar books and presents them in one easy to read package. Thank you Kim John Payne for helping us simplify our lives so we could get past the clutter, the tantrums, the breakdowns, and the noise; and really take joy in each other.

Having just finished posting a parenting article on STUFF , I was heartened to read Kim John Payne’s approach in this, his latest book: Simplicity Parenting. See Chapter 3 for a “10-Point Checklist” of types of toys to discard. Payne suggests getting rid of half of them–and then another half– and maybe even another half! Payne’s experience–as an educator, counselor and leading edge thinker–shows up on every page, as does his trademark humor and genuine compassion–not only for children, but for us parents too! It helps the medicine go down.
