it was amazing

5 stars for content, 4 stars for the writing. I wish his editor had been more relentless. :)

The content was incredible. Our children need a simpler life. Their routine, their toys, their education, their activities, their access to adult content, all need to be simpler. Fewer choices, less information, slower speed. I found myself nodding along on every page, but there was still so many good nuggets to take away! If your life feels full of rush, stress, anxiety, or chaos, the concepts in this book have the potential to change our lives and our children's childhoods.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"Nothing in the middle of a heap can be truly valued." (Can apply to toys, food, social activities, etc.)

"A childhood full of opportunities and time for exploring nature is a rich childhood indeed."

"Start small, stay close, insist, follow through."

"Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?"
