The Planning With Kids Book

Planning With Kids is a parenting book with a difference. Its emphasis is not on telling you how to parent, but to show ways you can become organised to leave more time for parenting. The book is published by Wright Books and will be available in book stores from May 1, 2011.

The philosophy is to streamline the known repetitive tasks of family life (eating, cleaning, getting ready for school etc), so you can then better manage the unpredictable but the inevitable (sick kids, fighting, tantrums etc).

In the book I share simple ways that you can plan your family life to take the stress out of parenting and running a household: just a little bit of planning can leave more time to spend having fun with the kids, having timeout for yourself, and having time for things to go wrong.

The book is written so you don’t need to read it in its entirety to derive any benefit, you can read one chapter, then work on the list of actions to take at the end and make a difference to the way your daily family life runs.

Planning With Kids will be retailing for $29.95 (Big W does stock it quite a bit cheaper than this though!) but if you order via the blog, you will receive your signed copy for $30.00 (in Australia only). This price includes postage. International prices are higher unfortunately, but that is due to the postage costs. I am investigating other options and will update when I have some info. If you are in a country/region that isn’t listed please email me nicole@planningwithkids.com and I can let you know the price.
