This was interesting. I was hoping there would be more practical advice, but it's not really a how-to parenting book, but more describing Danish culture, which makes sense in hindsight. But unfortunately, I can't use a lot of this as an American - like having a trusting society, paid for state childcare, and national maternity leave policies, to name a few things. (Wouldn't all children be happier if we had those things!) There were also more personal stories than expected, but I didn't mind. As someone interested in Danish society in general, it was still an interesting read! And there are some things I can take - like the chapters/ideas on discipline, play, and teaching empathy.
