Struggling with conflict and meltdowns? Bringing children up the Danish way could help
Denmark’s parenting secret to avoid conflict and meltdowns
- Experts believe the high happiness levels among Danish children are linked to the country's unique parenting style.
- The Danish Way of parenting uses six principles: play, authenticity, reframing, empathy, no ultimatums, and togetherness.
- This approach reduces conflict by encouraging collaboration, emotional honesty, understanding a child's perspective, and creating a sense of family unity.
- Instead of viewing everyday tasks as obstacles, Danish parents involve children, fostering helpfulness and reducing power struggles.
- Hygge, a concept of cosiness and shared enjoyment, further strengthens family bonds and creates a positive atmosphere.
