A life of simplicity can be more valuable than many items. ✨

When you simplify a child’s world, you make space for positive growth, creativity and relaxation. ❤

The benefits of simplifying your child’s world are many. And it can make your life more fulfilling, too. Children flourish when they have the time and space to explore their world without the constraints of “too much.” Kids are experiencing sensory overload with “too many trinkets, too many choices and too much information.” By approaching parenting using simplicity as a framework, parents may be able to significantly reduce a child’s daily stress which can lead to happier, more successful children.

Children need time to become themselves–through play and social interaction. If you overwhelm a child with stuff– with choices and pseudo-choices– -before they are ready, they will only know one emotional gesture: More! As you decrease the quantity of your child’s toys and clutter, you increase their attention and their capacity for deep play. Too much stuff leads to too little time and too little depth in the way kids see and explore their worlds.

Along the same lines, simplifying your family’s schedule can reduce the frantic feeling of always being on the go. Kids with a full plate of school work, extracurricular activities or sports each day may feel stressed and chaotic since they’re lacking the free time children need for creative play and exploration. And when you set effective screen time limits, you’ll keep your child distraction-free and help her learn to find joy in the present moment.

Rest nurtures creativity, which nurtures activity. Activity nurtures rest, which sustains creativity. Each draws from and contributes to the other. By simplifying, we can concentrate on what we really value, not just spend our days reacting to everything the world throws at us.

Some wonderful reminders from Makin Wellness💙

It’s okay not to have all the answers. Life doesn’t come with a roadmap, and sometimes you're meant to find your way step by step 💙

Be kind to yourself through the uncertainty, you’re allowed to not know everything. Permit yourself to sit with the discomfort of not having all the answers and trust that clarity will come when it’s meant to 💌
