On going slow

I initially became interested in the slow movement after watching an ABC documentary called Frantic Family Rescue. In this doco, journalist Carl Honore descends into the lives of over-active families and gives them a 'slow fix' for several weeks, which involves significantly cutting back on extra curricular activities, screen time, and general rushing about, and increases time spent together and facilitates enjoying the moment in every day life. At the end of several weeks, one family out of the 3 has succeeded in implementing a less frenetic lifestyle, but the other two still seem hellbent on fitting in as many achievement-focused activities into their children's lives as is humanly possible (poor kids). To find out whether your family is stuck in hyper-parenting mode and in need of a 'slow fix', following this link.
