Linda Åkeson McGurk

Author

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.

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!
