In this fantastic keynote, Kim explains why less is more and presents four simplicity pathways you can take to help your child feel calmer, happier and more secure.
This is the work and the workshop which provided the inspiration for Kim’s book by the same name (published in August 2009). The book has now sold over a million copies! It presents not only the four simple steps, but examples of how to bring “the power of less” into your home on a daily basis.
So much of modern life seems to be about more. There are not many presentations that will suggest that you do less, but this is one of them. It quietly presents ‘do-able’ daily ways in which we can simplify our families lives and by doing so build resiliency within our children. Kim Payne will take you through the research to help your family flourish!
