About this listen

Discover the parenting secrets of the happiest people in the world.

What makes Denmark the happiest country in the world - and how do Danish parents raise happy, confident, successful kids year after year? This upbeat and practical guide reveals the six essential principles that have been working for parents in Denmark for decades:

  • Play: essential for development and well-being
  • Authenticity: fosters trust and an 'inner compass'
  • Reframing: helps kids cope with setbacks and look on the bright side
  • Empathy: allows us to act with kindness towards others
  • No ultimatums: no power struggles or resentment
  • Togetherness: a way to celebrate family time, on special occasions and every day

A revealing and fresh take on parenting advice, The Danish Way of Parenting will help parents from all walks of life raise the happiest, most well-adjusted kids in the world.

Incredibly influential. This book has taught me a lot about how to manage the ups and downs of parenting life, but also how to manage my own emotions as an adult.
I completely understand now why the Danes have been voted the happiest people on the planet.
A must-read for all parents!

Well firstly, I don't read parenting books. However my friend recommended this one and I love this book. I actually realised how similarly I parent this way however the tips about reframing, hygga, discipline etc and the reassurance in this book really made me feel better as a person. I feel it brought me better understanding to why it's important to rise kids is this environment and with evidence to back it up, I can now explain to others why I've chosen this way. It's a great book. I'd recommend it even if you don't do parenting books!

Great and interesting way of parenting.

The book is good in that it highlights specific areas that parents could make effort to change how they deal with children and how that impacts on their adulthood.
