Comments on the 7 session Simplicity Parenting
"Discussion, Learning, Support and Integration" Groups
- [I now] understand how less is actually more, how silence can speak volumes and
how small steps lead to big changes.
- It was very important material for me to understand my role as a mother. And I'm
really pleased.
- It can be a life changing experience.
- It can make your life easier and happier.
- This class helped me step back, remember the values that are truly important and
ones that I want to strive to attain. The support and feedback of the group and
facilitators motivated and empowered me. This was a leap forward into becoming the
true and present parent I've always wanted to be! What a gift.
- The 7 weeks will fly by.
- A tiny investment, really, in the long run.
- If you commit to the seven sessions you will come to a greater awareness and understanding
of yourself, and your potential to make changes and stick to those changes.
- The support/network makes it possible to get through the exercises and feel the
victories.
- Reading a book is not the same as working through material with your community,
supporting one another.
- The friendship and connection with others in the group is empowering and inspiring.
- You will be amazed each week at what you can do.
- I would tell parents this class will create a paradigm shift. A fresh perspective
on how children are being affected by our society trying to 'rush' childhood.
- Very dynamic exchanges.
- The handouts were excellent in relaying the group experience to the co-parent.
- I had read the book previously, but the group interactions led to a much deeper
personal understanding of the material.
- The light/dark meditation was very beneficial, even for a first time meditate-or.
- This class validated a lot of things my spouse and I were already doing/thinking
about.
- The discussions and reading have helped me to become more mindful about our parenting
and the way that we create our home.
- The process of writing down weekly changes has been extremely helpful in terms of
operationalizing the more abstract concepts in the text.
