#92 Simplicity Parenting + EC

Today we're going to talk about the lessons I've learned from one of my favorite books, Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, and how his advice can create a slower, more meaningful foundation to your elimination communication practice with that sweet lil baby. When I had my first child, Kim's book had just been published. I ate it right up! The book shared all the things I needed to hear at that time to create the family rhythms, calm space, and focused connection that I knew in my heart I wanted, but didn't quite know how to build. It also helped me keep the brand new, newly released iPhone out of my hands and my focus on my newborn baby. It helped me push back against the "toy creep" that has threatened our family for almost 10 years. Man, I owe Kim a giant thank you for writing this book. And I was thinking about it the other day, how this book informed my journey as a new mama, and wanted to share those secrets with you today...especially how they relate to infant pottying. The subtitle of this book is "using the extraordinary power of less to raise calmer, happier, and more secure kids." If that's what you want, let's dive in!
