Seven ingredients for a simple family life

Everywhere children live in the world, there are alternatives to a life that is becoming faster, more technology-based, and more complicated. In this book, Julia Dibbern and Nicola Schmidt show how parents and children can satisfy their need of closeness, nature and slowness together.

These two pioneer members of the movement for species-appropriate lifestyles have found ways to slow down with children and create a more sustainable daily life which is beyond the stress of balancing work and life of isolated nuclear families. Parents who live as part of a community not only find ways to relax and lead a more interesting life, they also find solutions for an economic system that is under just as much pressure as today’s mothers and fathers.
