Raising children ranks as one of life's most rewarding adventures. Yet between Mom and Dad working full-time jobs, endless carpooling of overscheduled youngsters, and the never-ending pressures to buy and consume, family life can be incredibly--needlessly--complex. What if you could find a way to spend more time with your children, replace unnecessary activities with meaningful ones, and teach your children an invaluable life lesson in the process? Living Simply with Children offers a realistic blueprint for zeroing in on the pleasures of family life: * How (and why) to live simply and find more time to be with your children * Activities and rituals that bring out the best in every family member * Realistic ways to reclaim your children from corporate America * Helping children of any age deal with peer pressure * Raising kids who care about people and the planet * How to focus on the "good stuff" . . . with less stuff Including sections on limiting television, environmentally friendly practices, celebrating the holidays, and tapping into the growing community of families who embrace simplicity, this inspiring guide will show you how to raise children according to your own values--and not those of the consumer culture--as you enjoy both quality and quantity time with your family.… (mais)

Sherlock gives a number of practical suggestions for simplifying in general and simplifying with children in particular. Those who have already begun the process of Voluntary Simplicity will find a lot of the suggestions familiar, but Sherlock offers some family-oriented ideas that were new to me. I found the chapters on simple holiday traditions and creating family rituals to be particularly helpful. The TV chapter seemed a little preachy to me, but perhaps that's just because I felt uncomfortable because I'm not ready to give up my TV yet. I was hoping for more tips on how to simplify with very young children (about birth to age 3), particularly how to get by without a car, but this book seems to focus more on school-aged kids. ( )

Boken är uppdelad i två huvuddelar. Den första delen handlar om "Varför" – varför man skall praktisera frivillig enkelhet med sin familj.
Den andra delen handlar om ”Hur”, olika vägar till ett enklare liv.
Här kan man läsa om TV-tittande, hur man motverkar negativt grupptryck, hur man kan undervisa sina barn om pengar och ekonomi och slutligen hur man kan fira enklare högtider, med särskilt fokus på julen.

Förordet är skrivet av Vicki Robin, författare till Your Money or your life, och boken är full av hänvisningar till böcker och webbplatser Många av de böcker som nämns är klassiker som the Circle of Simplicity, Getting a life, Simplify your christmas men även för mig okända verk som Simplify your household av Tara Aronson och Graceful simplicity av Jerome M. Segal.

Boken är lättläst och jag gillar upplägget med en inledande del och en referensdel som man kan bläddra i lite efter behov. Eftersom boken är skriven för en amerikansk publik är det ett och annat som inte är så aktuellt i Sverige, exempelvis marknadsföring riktad till barn, men även mycket som är allmängiltigt. Boken är baserad på intervjuer med olika familjer som medvetet har valt ett enklare liv på olika sätt. Familjekonstellationerna ser olika ut och alla har de olika idéer och traditioner men det visar också på att ingen familj är den andra lik och att man måste hitta ett förhållningssätt anpassat efter sig och sin familj.

Great as a jumping off point. TBH if you are striving for simplicity, you're not going to learn a whole lot from this book. TBH, if you are aiming for simplicity you will not be spending $1000 on Christmas, or you will at least have worked out that this isn't on. What its great for is affirming simplicity as a choice that has already been made. It also recognises that those of us with young kids have to make choices that other simplifiers possibly don't, or at least not to such an acute degree, eg the choice to reduce working hours vs the choice to save and downshift.

Doesn't really generate any new ideas, and some of the kids/families quoted in the book really could send you running for the hills ("mommy, why is that man eating poisoned (trans: non-organic) food?". Well, dear, maybe because he prioritises local food over organic food airfreighted from god knows where. Or maybe he's a dad who'd rather spend a few extra hours with his kids than work. Maybe he can't afford organic food owing to the sterling US welfare system. Or maybe he's just trying to wind moms like yours up ) ( )

Commonsensical and U.S.-centric. It sometimes feels like an advertisement for a bunch of other voluntary simplicity books, which I found rather ironic. ( )
