This seven week series will lead us through a study of the book Simplicity Parenting, by Kim John Payne. Working in a warm, supportive group, we’ll find ways to integrate small, but transformative changes into our family lives. Parents who use these tools to simplify their homes and schedules find that their children are calmer and happier, do better socially and emotionally, are more focused at school, and find it easier to comply with family rules.
IMAGINE BECOMING THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR FAMILY LIFE!
IMAGINE A HOME WHERE TIME MOVES MORE SLOWLY…
IMAGINE HAVING MORE FUN AND CONNECTION IN YOUR FAMILY…
