Book Preview:

#1 I worked with James’s parents to help them reduce his exposure to world issues and information. They removed all television sets and computers from the house, and limited his exposure to politics, jobs, and concerns after he went to bed.

#2 When you simplify a child’s world, you prepare the way for positive change and growth. The pressures of too much are so universal that we begin to feel normal oddness. Our instinct to protect our children will be what motivates us to change.

#3 The idea of a one-minute story seemed perfect to Canadian journalist Carl Honoré. He thought about unanswered emails and other things he needed to do, and realized that he had become a speedaholic. What was this saying and doing to his kids.

#4 I had been working with children in Asia for years, and I had noticed that they were jumpy, nervous, and distrustful of new relationships. Many had post-traumatic stress disorder.

#1

I worked with James’s parents to help them reduce his exposure to world issues and information. They removed all television sets and computers from the house, and limited his exposure to politics, jobs, and concerns after he went to bed.

#2
