Book Description

Raising children ranks as one of life’s most rewarding adventures. Yet between Mom and Dad working full-time jobs, endless carpooling of overscheduled youngsters, and the never-ending pressures to buy and consume, family life can be incredibly—needlessly—complex. What if you could find a way to spend more time with your children, replace unnecessary activities with meaningful ones, and teach your children an invaluable life lesson in the process? Living Simply with Children offers a realistic blueprint for zeroing in on the pleasures of family life:

• How (and why) to live simply and find more time to be with your children
• Activities and rituals that bring out the best in every family member
• Realistic ways to reclaim your children from corporate America
• Helping children of any age deal with peer pressure
• Raising kids who care about people and the planet
• How to focus on the “good stuff” . . . with less stuff

Including sections on limiting television, environmentally friendly practices, celebrating the holidays, and tapping into the growing community of families who embrace simplicity, this inspiring guide will show you how to raise children according to your own values—and not those of the consumer culture—as you enjoy both quality and quantity time with your family.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Men need to read this!, Mars 3 2003
Par "csteegarden" (Casa Grande, AZ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Men have never been given a decent guide for parenting by any other author until now. Marie Sherlock has boiled down the morass of parenting into a tangible notion that is logical and replicable for even the most "out of touch" father!

Men intrinsically know that many of the frills provided to children do not contribute to any sort of character building. Yet, we do not have the skills to automatically know how to identify another parenting path upon which to proceed. We allow our mothers and wives to direct us because we don't feel we have any basis for what comes down to "common sense."

What the author makes clear is that we are generally raising selfish, narcissistic children who are catered to, transported, bribed and cajoled into some sort of non-negative behavior. An excellent example is the number of children from affluent families who see service to their country as something lower classes undertake. This small, but brave book, finally tells America how life really is and challenges us to rescue ourselves and our children from a life of mediocrity.

I have purchased a number of these books to give to young fathers and mothers. If you are one of the latter or know young parents, put your hands on these books as quickly as you can! This book is the blueprint that will guide you into creating happy responsible adults, who will go out into the world and make the parents proud of the outcome.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great book to get new parents, Aoû 21 2009
I read this book after our third child was born and I really wish I had read it sooner. Not that I did not already share and follow the same values of the "simple life" but I always had a deep down guilty feeling that I should be giving my children more more MORE like "everyone else".
I don't really need a book to reassure me but it sure helps to have some back up. I loved the idea of the family meeting.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful Guide!, Nov. 24 2008
Par Amy VG (Southern Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
What a wonderful little guide! The first and second chapters were slightly tough reads (for motivation to continue on with the book), more about determining my goals and values, these chapters really should have been at the end of the book, after reading why we should simplify in the first place. But the rest of the chapters were excellent, great for motivating myself to finally change my over-consuming ways.

The first part of the book is about the "whys" families should practice simplicity. The second part of the book goes into the "hows". This book took an simple straightforward approach to simplifying, I learned so many easy to implement techniques to motivate myself, my husband, and my children to all simplify; tips on communicating to our kids the whys, how to teach our children money management skills from an early age, and providing examples of "simple pleasures" to reconnect with family and community.

Because, lets face it, it's not just about our pocket-book anymore. Basically due to our greed we're destroying our environment and taking away from those living in less fortunate countries.

Another great part of this book are the lists of resources for more in-depth research on those areas discussed in each chapter.

I highly recommend!!
