"Kim John Payne in Santa Rosa March 23"
2.23.2010

Summerfield Waldorf School in Santa Rosa is hosting a talk from Kim John Payne the evening of March 23. This year he is speaking about Teens and Tweens: The Power of the Peer Group. Even though my children have a ways to go until they are teenagers, I will be attending.

Oh no, my oldest is almost a 'tween.' Heaven help me.

Tickets to the event are $10 and available at Summerfield or Copperfields stores. Copies of Simplicity Parenting will be available at the event, and a book signing will follow the talk. I have had the pleasure of hearing Kim speak at Summerfield the last couple of years on Simplicity Parenting and the Soul of Discipline. The last talk was so packed, I sat on the floor.

His calendar lists his speaking engagements, so if you are not in the vicinity of Sonoma County, I hope you can find another talk to attend. If not, audio cds of his talks are available for purchase, and other audio interviews and articles are listed on the new Simplicity Parenting site.
