Heart this Book - Planning With Kids by Nicole Avery

Submitted by The Imperfect Mum on Mon, 19/09/2011 - 02:32.

Planning with Kids is one of the best “parenting” books I have read. Big call I know – but true.

I’m a bit of a go-with-the-flow Mum, which in some cases has its advantages, but sometimes it’s not so good. This was my first year with a child at school, so I seriously needed to look at our household routines, or lack thereof. After seeing Nicole Avery being interviewed on The Circle I ordered this book in. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn’t just a planning book, but it covers EVERYTHING:

  • Meals

  • Family Finances

  • Navigating with a new baby

  • Preparation for preschoolers

  • Strategies for schoolchildren

  • Enjoying Parenthood – You and Your partner

  • Making time for play

  • Preparing for Holidays

  • Stress-free birthday parties

  • Avoiding Christmas Chaos

  • Routines

You can buy your copy here.

I have been meaning to get this book for a few months now - one of my friends bought it when it first came out, and it has made a really big difference in how she runs her household!

A friend of mine has this book, and I've used a few of the ideas in it, and they worked fantastically with my 4 kids. Now I know I can get it from Harley's Educational, I will definitely be getting my own copy.
Thanks Imperfect mum

Pleasure Nicole- I just love your book! I have raved about it so much that now 3 of my friends have it, one of them PM'd me the other day thanking me for the recommendation. There are still a few things I need to implement one being the meal planning. I have just gotten home and realised I have nothing organised for tea :/ whoops.. Looks like it will be a quick throw together quiche! Oh well :)
