Why read it?
2 authors picked The Danish Way of Parenting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Danish parenting advice is the best thing to come out of Denmark since hygge and in this book, authors Jessica Joelle Alexander and Iben Sandahl explain why. Stressing emotional health, free play, and – of course – hygge, The Danish Way of Parenting makes a strong case for a more empathetic way of raising children than the old school authoritarian style and gives parents practical tools to avoid yelling and spanking. A modern parenting classic with a decidedly Scandinavian flavor.
From Linda's list on parenting secrets from other cultures.
This book is a fabulous new take on parenting, encouraging curiosity, empathy, play, positive reframing, and connection or “cozy” time of genuine and loving relationships. What I found most valuable was the examples of how to language conversations to move from critical to curious and connected!
