 Living Simply with Children
by Marie Sherlock
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.
