The Danish Way of Parenting

Rezensionen / Stimmen

A powerful new method of raising children . . . who are 're-silient and emotionally secure' - in other words, exactly what we're all aiming for - Mother magazine

Nordic cuisine, Nordic design, Nordic Noir - the list of suc-cessful cultural exports has been a never ending one over the last decade, and now you can add Nordic Nurture to the list. . . . It would appear that Danish mothers really do know best - The Post (Copenhagen)

If the "grown- ups" of every nation put the principles outlined in The Danish Way into practice even 50 percent of their wak-ing lives, oh, the potential change to humanity. . . . Sometimes a book has the power to literally resculpt the world as we know it, bringing about changes to the next generation which could even make the word war a concept of the dim and dis-tant past. The Danish Way of Parenting really is every adult's Bible - The Glass House Girls

Alexander's research and honest reflection on how her own parenting has been influenced and enhanced by her husband's Danish culture is a valuable resource for any parent struggling to hold up a mirror to the vulnerabilities in his or her own parenting style. Sandahl's research and personal and profes-sional experience as a Danish parent and psychotherapist re-inforce the idea that Danes really do have some brilliant natural insight into raising resilient and balanced children. Together, the authors create a thoughtfully written parenting guide that encourages self- eflection and provides useful ad-vice on how to best address common parenting challenges. The Danish Way of Parenting is a must read for parents coming from any culture

A radical departure from the traditionally British way of parenting, this book has been an eye-opener -- I'm now attempting to put the theories into practice with my own mini Viking!
