Simplicity Parenting

Mountain Song Community school is thrilled to partner with Ms. Stacie Warren to offer Simplicity Parenting Classes at no cost to our families.

Simplicity Parenting is an internationally renowned program created by family counselor and former Waldorf teacher, Kim John Payne. The program will help you build a safe, warm and secure family base camp from which a child can launch out into the world with resiliency. The approach helps you in making small doable changes, worry less – and enjoy more. For those who want to balance their children’s lives down but don’t know where to start, Simplicity Parenting offers both inspiration and a blueprint for change.

Ms. Stacie is a certified Simplicity Parenting instructor, a former MSCS Kindergarten teacher, and the owner and director of Sunflower Waldorf House, a preschool program in Colorado Springs. All Mountain Song families are invited to attend any or all of the sessions, which will be hosted here at the school (2904 W Kiowa St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904)

April 19th 6-8p.m.

Setting boundaries

Creating healthy boundaries not only teaches children important life skills such as follow through, responsibility, patience, and self-discipline, but it empowers them to keep themselves safe, unswayed by external/peer pressure, builds resilience and self-respect. Neurologically, setting boundaries develops executive functioning capacities, which is necessary for organizing thoughts and actions, creating and carrying out plans, developing focus, filtering out peripheral distractions, emotional regulation, and self-control.
