Story
Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world. That's down to one thing: hygge. ' Hygge has been translated as everything from the art of creating intimacy to cosiness of the soul to taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things. My personal favourite is cocoa by candlelight....' You know hygge when you feel it. It is when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right.

Today's kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, and computer screens. But more and more, studies show that children need "rough and tumble" outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions. Disturbingly, a lack of movement has been shown to lead to a number of health and cognitive difficulties, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotion regulation and sensory processing issues, and aggressiveness at school recess break.

Publisher's Summary
International best seller
As seen in The Wall Street Journal - from free play to cozy together time, discover the parenting secrets of the happiest people in the world
What makes Denmark the happiest country in the world - and how do Danish parents raise happy, confident, successful kids, year after year? This upbeat and practical book presents six essential principles, which spell out P-A-R-E-N-T:
Play is essential for development and well-being.
Authenticity fosters trust and an “inner compass.”
Reframing helps kids cope with setbacks and look on the bright side.
Empathy allows us to act with kindness toward others.
No ultimatums means no power struggles, lines in the sand, or resentment.
Togetherness is a way to celebrate family time, on special occasions and every day. The Danes call this hygge - and it’s a fun, cozy way to foster closeness. Preparing meals together, playing favorite games, and sharing other family traditions are all hygge. (Cell phones, bickering, and complaining are not!)
With illuminating examples and simple yet powerful advice, The Danish Way of Parenting will help parents from all walks of life raise the happiest, most well-adjusted kids in the world.
What the critics say
"An emotionally smart, gem of a book. The Danish Way offers a shining alternative to high-stress modern parenting, and families from New Delhi to New York will shout with joy. Forget the pursuit of happiness, this book gets to the authentic roots of family happiness. I guess I'm Danish." (Heather Shumaker, author of It's OK Not to Share and It's OK to Go Up the Slide)
"Everyone around the globe can gain something from the valuable wisdom found in this book. Concepts such as reframing and hygge prove useful to families from all cultures. It's wonderful to see that Danish parenting has so much in common with Positive Parenting! I highly recommend this book!" (Rebecca Eanes, author of Positive Parenting: An Essential Guide)
"With a profound understanding of the positive impact that empathy and connectedness bring to parenting, The Danish Way empowers parents across the globe to check their own default settings and consider the whole child. Their take on the importance of free play is a breath of fresh air in a time when young children are over-scheduled and under stress. Highly recommended for parents everywhere." (Katie Hurley, LCSW, author of The Happy Kid Handbook)

Useful but misleading and oversimplified
The advice offered in this book is excellent parenting advice, but it is somewhat hypocritical to advocate a "we" mentality and to then promote this as a way for individual success as a parent. For instance, the authors say that these tips for individuals lead to happy lives in Denmark, which blatantly disregards the many communal social structures in place to facilitate happy lives, such as affordable daycare and education. A parent can only be as effective as society allows them to be, and while the tips from the authors are generally excellent tips, the authors ignore major problems in North American society that go far beyond individual parents. I was also disappointed by how often the book focused on mothers, rather than on parents, which reinforces North American images of mothers as primary guardians. The book reperforms many of the flimsy strategies one finds in American "self-help" culture, even as it attempts to break out of those same frameworks.

Excellent simple and practical parenting book
Although the book is a simple text to read or listen to, it does provide relatable and practical strategies for becoming a better parent. In my context, better means to be more patient, caring, and fostering greater independence in my children. I would recommend this book to parents of children who are 3+ years old as it is more centered on relationship building than lifehacks of dealing with toddlers.

Obvious parenting tips unrelated to Danes
Do you think it's a bad idea to label your kid, "lazy?" Do you thinking having empathy is a good thing? Congratulations! You already have the level of info that's in this book. Close to nothing in this book has anything to do with Danish culture- it's all run of the mill, common sense (read: obvious) advice.

It’s a good introduction to respectful parenting
I enjoyed this book. It’s a good introduction to the concept of respectful parenting. However, if you’ve already read multiple books by Janet Lansbury and Magda Gerber, you won’t find much you don’t already know. The one concept I am taking away from this book that I didn’t get anywhere else is the practice of reframing negative experiences. (Deliberately look for the silver lining in negative events, and theorize why someone might be in a bad mood when they are rude or unkind to you.) I believe this is a really important practice. It reminds me a lot of Brené Brown‘s advice to make the most generous assumption of other people’s actions. It will protect your relationships, and even if you are wrong, you will be happier.
All that being said, I would still recommend this book to anyone who has not read multiple Janet Lansbury, Magda Gerber, and Brené Brown Books! If you are new to the ideas of respectful parenting, this is a great place to start. And if you’re a seasoned respectful parent, this book could still be useful. If you’re trying to explain your „radical“ parenting choices to resistant in-laws, for instance, maybe you could get them to read this book. It is very inoffensive, and won’t make them feel attacked.

Nothing unique or mind blowing
I would pass on this one. Nothing beyond common sense, nothing unique to Danes, or ideas that haven’t been discussed in every other medium.
The book feels like the cultural exploration of a young person who hasn’t experienced much life or diversity growing up.
Synopsis:
Let your kids have unstructured play
Explain things to your kids rather than get angry
“Reframe” negative things -
Family cuddle time
To frame this topic in a “what makes danes happy” Is a ridiculous oversimplification of the larger picture- but a brilliant marketing strategy to sell books.
I would have given it one more star for a better title called “common sense parenting that we some times overlook”.

Changed My Broken Approach to Parenting
I grew up in a home that was very authoritarian meaning it’s my way or the highway. It wasn’t OK to disagree and it wasn’t OK to experience emotions. I also grew up being spanked with a wooden spoon. Does that sound normal?
