This week, I am bringing you my interview with Denaye Barahona. Denaye is host of the Simple Families Podcast and is author of the new book Simple Happy Parenting. Her refreshing approach to minimalism and parenting is professional yet warm. She believes in a holistic approach to helping the whole family; living well through cultivating a healthy relationship with yourself, family and home. I\u2019ve enjoyed listening to her podcast over the last several years and can\u2019t wait to talk with her today about the idea of \u2018less-is-more\u2019 when parenting.\nWe discuss:\n\nA definition of simple, happy parenting\n\nHow do we step away from a skittish mindset and move towards a more free, relaxed relationship with our children?\n\nSome would argue: \u201cIsn\u2019t our job to protect our children from any difficulties that are in our control?\u201d How would you respond?\n\nIs the 'less-is-more' parenting approach only a trend?\n\nHow we can parent with a \u2018less-is-more\u2019 mentality when it comes to:\n\nFood/Mealtimes\n\nFree play at home\n\nManners\n\nSleep\n\nPlayground\n\nSchool\n\nThe Outdoors\n\n\nLet\u2019s keep the conversation going on our\xa0Facebook\xa0page or\xa0Instagram!\nAdvertising Inquiries: sales@adalystmedia.com
