anabel_unker 's review for:
The Danish Secret to Happy Kids
by Helen Russell
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Fun and shockingly educational, THE DANISH SECRET TO HAPPY KIDS reads like a conversation between friends on the key points of raising children in Denmark. Russell, and American ex-pat living and raising her own gaggle in Denmark, casually discusses the reasoning and benefits of traditional Danish practices-- including over sixteen pages of sources at the end of the book, interspersing her own anecdotes and experiences as a mother.
This book acts as a mainly a conversation starter-- it doesn't take itself too seriously, and recommends you don't either. It offers solid advice for child development (such as the classic, "There's no such thing as bad weather" and encouraging parental community involvement/volunteering), but continues to remind the readers that what fits for one might not fit for all-- however it could be worth a try.
