How to Provide Warm, Firm, and Calm Guidance – For parents of children Birth to 9 years old

Help your children:

o   Be calmer and happier

o   Do better socially and emotionally

o   Be more focused at school

o   Find it easier to comply with family rules

o   Become less picky eaters

And at the same time help yourself:

o   To have a clearer picture of what they value as parents

o   Be more united with each other in their parenting

o   Have more time and energy for connection, relaxation, and fun

As the pace of life accelerates to hyperspeed – with too much stuff, too many choices, and too little time – children feel the pressure. They can become anxious, have trouble with friends and school, or even be diagnosed with behavioral problems.  Now, in defense of the extraordinary power of less, Simplicity Parenting Coach Marieke Duijneveld helps parents reclaim for their children the space and freedom that all kids need, allowing their children’s attention to focus and their individuality to flourish.

The sessions are inspired by the Simplicity Parenting approach developed by Kim John Payne.
