Simplify Your Life with Kids

Simplify With Kids takes the simplicity movement to its next logical step and is a simple, step-by-step guide for minimizing the distractions that make life with kids a never-ending battle with the clock, our nerves, and with our innate desire to create happy, healthy lives.

Applying the same successful formula that made St. James' s previous books bestsellers, Simplify With Kids offer practical, down-to-earth advice in one to three page narratives for each of one hundred issues -- vital, perplexing, time-demanding issues that all parents face. Based on personal experience with their children and stepchildren, on the letters received from thousands of readers, and on the information gleaned from focus groups, seminars, and media interviews with people around the country, Simplify With Kids addresses all the areas of family life that need simplifying: The Daily RoutineThe Stuff We And Our Kids AccumulateFamily Issues such as discipline, conflict, sibling rivalry, in-lawsSingle ParentingStep-parentingSchool And HomeworkLeisure ActivitiesHealthTraveling With KidsSpecial Needs Of Infants, Toddlers, Older Children, And Teenagers
