The perfect listen & incredibly insightful!
I’ve been listening to parenting books for a while now and this is by far the most relatable, achievable and comforting of books I’ve listened to in a while.
All the advice is completely relatable, doesn’t seem unrealistic for busy, over tired parents who want to be better and try new approaches and enjoy parenting even more.
Some points are ones we already have adopted in our home, some are new, and some are just reassuring that we’re on the right path!
A Fantastic Listen and one you don’t want to put down!
Loved it!

Interesting and brilliant
A must read for all parents. Simple and refreshing to read and very different to the British way of parenting.

Enriching read
Having benefited from the practical, sage advice, my parenting improved greatly from the get go, with real results, I was amazed! In addition to parenting counsel, I derived personal development and growth, which was unexpected. I will re-read, as it’s that good. Narrated beautifully in a clear voice that held my attention easily on the subject matter. The book is not complicated and very compelling

Very satisfying listen
I really enjoyed this book. A whole bunch of factors, some I'd thought of and was great to have confirmed by the Danish, other factors I'd never thought of and was very pleased to be introduced to. Also nice to be done in 3.5hrs.

New or current parents would learn a lot from thin
This is my first audible. I'm thoroughly surprised how quickly you can go through a single audio book. Loved this book and thoroughly took notes.

A great perspective on the way we are raised and how that affects our parenting
This book is a positive take on the societal norms in Denmark vs America and how it affects the way we raise children. It’s been really helpful in my parenting journey as I’m trying to heal my own trauma and learn more about how I can show up as the best parent possible for my kids.
