Lean Parenting Starter Kit

Consider these in your Approach:

  • Dont focus on parenting.
  • Dont focus on building a nest of physical things - just the most very basic necessities.
  • Dont follow others blindly, no matter how successful they appear.
  • Do Focus on yourself and your own neurosies.
  • Do Focus on healthy relationships, starting with the relationship with yourself, and then your parents and partner.
    • Love for self -> Love for Family -> Love for other people -> Love for world.
  • Everything else will fall into place.
  • Minimalism with kids sounds like an oxymoron at first but it is the key to making things easy.
  • You only get limited chances at raising kids. You can make more money later.
  • The best you can do for your kids is provide basic physical needs and avoid passing on your negative neurosies and trauma, by healing them within yourself first.
  • Cultivate your ability to see clearly: Being sensitive, mindful and receptive of what is directly in front of you, including insight into your own behaviour and thinking... usually trumps any special techniques or tips.
