Simplicity Parenting - How to Raise Calmer, Happier Kids

In Simplicity Parenting, therapist and educator Kim John Payne argues that the root of many modern childhood challenges, anxiety, attention issues, behavioural struggles, is not psychological, but environmental.

The solution?

Less.

Less stuff. Less screen time. Fewer activities. Fewer choices.

By stripping away the noise of modern life, Payne shows how parents can create a calmer, more secure environment where children can thrive emotionally and neurologically. The book blends practical strategies with deep insights about rhythm, connection, and the power of predictability in a child’s life.

If your family feels rushed, overwhelmed, or constantly ‘on’, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, and rediscover what actually matters.
