Simplicity Parenting is a multi-layered, systems approach for decreasing cumulative stress in children’s and families’ lives.  Research has shown that this comprehensive approach, based on the work and highly acclaimed book Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, M.Ed., is effective in addressing and decreasing a range of clinical and subclinical symptoms, including attention difficulties, hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, difficulties with sleep, and a host of stress-related behavioral and emotional symptoms.

The Simplicity Parenting paradigm, along with its growing international movement, provides families with an accessible, empowering framework and practical solutions for establishing a values-led lifestyle that supports healthy social-emotional development and strong family relationships.  The model also offers parents and care professionals a unique and fresh perspective on various ‘disorders’ and symptoms, one that highlights and builds on children’s underlying strengths and capacities, and enhances children’s growing ability for self-regulation.
