Discover the secrets of Danish parenting from the happiest parents in the world. Parents and educators focus on aspects such as socialization, autonomy, companionship, a democratic attitude, and self-esteem. They want their children to develop mental resilience and cultivate a strong internal compass that will guide them in their lives.
This book presents the six fundamental principles associated with the Danish way of raising children:
Play is essential for development and happiness.
Authenticity enhances trust, self-confidence, and internal balance.
Reframing helps children cope with tough times and see the bright side of life.
Empathy allows them to treat others with kindness.
No ultimatums means no fights for dominance, no red lines, no anger.
Companionship is a way for the family to enjoy their leisure time together.
By learning how to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere, we can improve family relationships. If we set aside the "I" and focus on the "we," we will avoid much unnecessary "drama" and the negativity that often arises at home.
With practical tips and inspiring examples, this invaluable book will help all parents raise the happiest children in the world.

The opinion of the experts

“I read it and started applying some principles immediately. The change in my relationship with my child was visible from the very first week.” – Parenting Consultant

“Trust is not built by saying ‘trust me.’ It is built when the child sees you treating them with consistency, honesty, and respect.”
“Empathy is not a weakness. It is the foundation for an adult who knows how to relate to others – and to themselves.”

I love Scandinavia and generally their mentality. Ideally, I would like to live in Denmark. However, I tried to read the book 3 times. I would get somewhere near the middle and leave it every time. The writing is somewhat boring. Other than that, personally I very much agree with the mentality of the Danes and ideally I would like to apply everything the book says, even though I grew up with a different mentality in Greece.
Λατρευω Σκανδιναβια κ γενικα τη νοοτροπια τους. Ιδανικα θα ηθελα να ζω στη Δανία. Ωστοσο, το βιβλίο προσπαθησα 3 φορες να το διαβασω. Εφτανα καπου κοντα στη μεση και το αφηνα καθε φορα. Κάπως βαρετος ο λόγος. Κατα τ'αλλα προσωπικα συμφωνω πολυ με τη νοοτροπια των Δανων κ ιδανικα θα ηθελα να εφαρμοσω ολα οσα λεει το βιβλιο κι ας εχω μεγαλωσει με διαφορετικη νοοτροπια στην Ελλαδα.
Excellent book!! I don't understand why someone would say bad things about it. What I liked the most are the examples it provides and how Danish parents react. It is very interesting!!!
Εξαιρετικό βιβλίο!! Δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί κάποιος να πει κακά λόγια για αυτό. Αυτό που μου άρεσε πιο πολύ είναι τα παραδείγματα που κάνει και πως αντιδρούν οι Δανοί γονείς. Έχει πολύ ενδιαφέρον!!!
Perhaps the worst translated book I have ever laid my hands on. The translation is so bad that it gives you the impression that it has been done with Google Translate.
Ίσως το χειρότερο μεταφρασμένο βιβλίο που έχω πιάσει στα χέρια μου. Είναι τόσο κακή η μετάφραση που σου δίνει την εντύπωση οτι έχει γίνει με google translate.
Excellent book, worth reading. They indeed have a completely different method of child development and it is extremely interesting and will definitely help you.
Εξαιρετικό βιβλίο, αξίζει να το διαβάσετε. Έχουν όντως εντελώς διαφορετική μέθοδο ανάπτυξης των παιδιων τους και είναι εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρον και σίγουρα θα σας βοηθησει.
The book is excellent! I give it one less star because the book smelled really bad. The store that sent it should be careful where they store the books!
Εξαιρετικό το βιβλίο! Βάζω 1 αστέρι λιγότερο γιατί το βιβλίο μύριζε πολύ άσχημα. Το κατάστημα που το έστειλε θα πρέπει να προσέξει που αποθηκεύει τα βιβλία!
