The book I wish I had read at the start of my parenting journey!
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!

Great and interesting way of parenting.
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!

We know it but don't practice enough
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.

Power-packed performance
I loved the concept of reframing and many of the ideas in the book sat well with me. I had heard of Danish parenting before but was still awed by the ideas and appreciated the detailed book. Well worth the money.
